En Chine, l'essor de l'industrie des micro-dramas, des fictions ultra-courtes, alimente un tout nouveau business : la location de visages. Selon une enquête du média en ligne Rest of World, il est désormais possible, pour une poignée de yuans, de fournir des images de son faciès et de céder ses droits à l'image afin d'alimenter les algorithmes des sociétés de production spécialisées dans ce format à la mode. Un modèle lucratif qui pourrait, à terme, faire émerger « un nouveau marché de l'identité biométrique ».
