Remember that app which was in the news recently for making everyone look old? Well, I mean we ourselves posted a picture to Instagram with that filter, giving in to the hype. It seems 2019 is the year of insane deepfake filter apps since a new app called Zao has now popped up in China. And yes, you guessed it. Everyone is going crazy about it but the app also received immediate backlash for its privacy policies.
Zao’s Response:
Zao has taken the complaints into consideration and responded to the backlash. The app developer, i.e. Changsha Shenduronghe Network Technology, which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinese company Momo, had made amendments to its user agreement.
