Doublicat: New app lets you put your face on GIFs - but is it safe?

A new app called Doublicat has risen in popularity on the Apple and Android app stores by allowing users to put their face on top of popular GIFs. The app collects information from a photo to analyse your facial features, and then places those on the heads of celebrities, movie scenes, and other content. As of writing, it is number three on the Google Play Store and number 28 on the Apple App Store. However, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica and other scandals, users are likely to be concerned about the safety of such applications. The Russian-owned FaceApp, which uses facial recognition to edit your images, has a particularly controversial privacy policy which allows FaceApp a royalty-free, irrecovable, perpetual license to use your face with no compensation, according to its terms and conditions page.
