FaceApp - The REAL TRUTH about the app that's making everyone old 🤫

**The Dark Side of Face App: A Spooky Trending Topic**

Face App has been making headlines lately due to its trending nature, and for good reason. Many users are expressing concern over the app's true intentions and how it uses our personal data. Let's dive into the spooky aspects of this popular face filter app.

**Number One: Stealing Your Data**

One of the primary concerns is that Face App is stealing your data. There are claims that when you give the app access to your photos, it uploads all of your camera roll to its servers. While that may not be true in every case, what's happening is that it's uploading the photos you select for use on the app to their servers, which then uses advanced facial AI to create a convincing picture of you. This uploaded photo can then be shared with Twitter or other platforms, raising questions about who has access to your personal data and how it's being used.

**Number Two: The Privacy Policy is Scary**

The privacy policy of Face App is indeed scary, covering the app's behind-the-scenes workings in legalese designed to protect its interests. Most users aren't familiar with the intricacies of their favorite apps' privacy policies, except when they see snippets trending on social media. It's surprising that so many people log into popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google without ever reading their respective privacy policies.

**Number Three: Giving Away Your Data**

Face App shares your data with third parties, including Facebook and Google. These American companies collect a vast amount of user data, which is then used for targeted advertising and other purposes. The app's data-sharing practices raise concerns about who has access to our personal information and how it's being used.

**Number Four: Owned by the Russians**

Face App is owned by a Russian company, which has sparked fears among some users. However, the real concern lies not with the country of origin but with what data the app collects and shares. The Russian government's alleged interference in US elections highlights the importance of protecting personal data from foreign entities.

**The Real Enemy: Facebook and Other American Companies**

Rather than worrying about a face morphing app owned by Russians, we should be more concerned about the companies we're logging into every day. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, FriendFeed, LiveRail, and other services collect vast amounts of user data, including browsing history, shopping habits, eating habits, interests, friends, family, and locations. By sharing your information with these platforms, you provide them with a wealth of personal data that can be used to identify you by your face in every photo you appear in.

**Be Self-Aware: Take Control of Your Data**

The key to protecting your personal data is being self-aware and taking control of the platforms you use. If you think Facebook and other services are worth using, then you must weigh the benefits against what you're giving up in terms of data sharing. It's not about wrapping yourself in tin foil or logging out of all apps; it's about making informed decisions about your online presence and what you're willing to share with companies like Face App.
