Image Recognition
Further to our article on Tiktok (News Review, last week) the company has informed us that Beijing Douyin Service Ltd has no visibility or control over any other global business, including TikTok; that the blackout challenge pre-dates TikTok and it has never found any evidence of this type of content trending on its platform; that facial, body and voice information are used for filters, effects and for safety, not to identify unique individuals; and that keystroke pattern recognition is used to identify malicious actors such as bots, without capturing the content of what is being typed.
