TikTok changes its privacy policy so it can collect biometric information like 'faceprints' as people use it
TikTok says it could collect "faceprints and voiceprints" on its users – though has not made clear what they are. The new data collection is part of an update to the app's US terms and conditions, which broaden the kinds and amount of information that the app can gather from its users. The terms make clear that all sorts of information might be collected when people use the app, from details about where they are, to their phone, to how they actually use TikTok itself. But perhaps the most unusual of the new additions come as part of an update section on the "Image and Audio Information" that TikTok says it can automatically gather while people use the app. That section starts by noting that the app will collect information about what appears in people's posts.

WATCH: Robot 'priest' eyed to spark debate on artificial intelligence and faith
Five hundred years ago, a man named Martin Luther questioned the teachings of the Catholic Church at the time. His actions lead to what is now known as the Protestant Reformation. Centuries after this event, a robot called BlessU-2 has been revealed in Germany to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. The robot is intended to trigger debate about the future of the church and the looming potential of artificial intelligence, reports The Guardian. "We wanted people to consider if it is possible to be blessed by a machine, or if a human being is needed," said Stephan Krebs of the Protestant church in Hesse and Nassau.
