The Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok, wildly popular with American teenagers, has updated its privacy policy to add a section stating that the app will collect biometric information including “faceprints and voiceprints” from users.
For those of us who are paying attention, we are seeing a net, as in the internet, rapidly closing in all around us as technology becomes more and more invasive. A bible believer sees the internet for what it is, the platform for the coming Mark of the Beast world system, and we intend on plundering Satan's kingdom right up to the moment we leave on Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines.
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Revelation 12:11,12 (KJB)
The rise of Communist China is an alarming thing made ever more so when you consider how willing the pretend presidency of the Biden administration is to lay down to them. At some point, China is going to expand their reach to a very high degree, overtaking America in the process. Socialism and Communism are the enemies of a free society, and America's rush to embrace both those things is potentially fatal. The Biden administration is deeply in bed with Communist China, and has no plans to limit them on any level.
Communist China’s TikTok Will Now Collect Your Kids’ ‘Faceprint’ and ‘Voiceprint’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: TechCrunch reports that a change to TikTok’s U.S. privacy policy on Wednesday added a new section that says the app “may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information” from users’ content which includes “faceprints and voiceprints.”
TechCrunch reached out to TikTok for comment but the company was unable to confirm what product developments required the addition of biometric data to its list of disclosures about the information it collects from users. The biometric data collection details were introduced in the newly added section “Image and Audio Information,” which is found under the heading of “Information we collect automatically,” in the policy.
The first part of the new section of the Privacy Policy states that TikTok may collect information about the images and audio that are in users’ content, “such as identifying the objects and scenery that appear, the existence and location within an image of face and body features and attributes, the nature of the audio, and the text of the words spoken in your User Content.”
The policy further notes that this part of the data collection is for enabling “special video effects, for content moderation, for demographic classification, for content and ad recommendations, and for other non-personally-identifying operations.”
In relation to collecting biometric data, the policy states: “We may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined under US laws, such as faceprints and voiceprints, from your User Content. Where required by law, we will seek any required permissions from you prior to any such collection.”
The statement is quite vague and doesn’t specify whether it’s considering federal law, state law, or both. It also does not explain why TikTok needs this data. It doesn’t define terms such as “faceprints,” or “voiceprints.” It also doesn’t explain how it would seek the “required permissions” from users.
TikTok has faced privacy issues before and is still currently facing a major legal challenge from the former children’s commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, over the app’s collection and use of children’s data. TikTok faces potential damages in the billions if the lawsuit is successful. READ MORE
