TikTok Parent Company ByteDance Secretly Building A Deepfake Maker

Recent reports has shown that TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has developed a deepfake technology which they integrated into their app.

The new feature scans your face and then swaps it with someone else’s face in a video. The code for this feature which is referred to as “face swap” was not only found in TikTok but also in Douyin

This deepfake technology as we all know can be used for a lot of malicious purposes and integrating it into an app like TikTok which has been under fire by legislators might just not be the best idea right now.
