FaceApp - what do you think?

As Gransnet have asked us to comment on how we feel about this app, could we ask them to comment on the security aspects? I.e. is it just scaremongering or is there a real threat to our security in using it?

All the youngsters in our fa I,y were trying g it on our family group. Funny nobody asked me to try it ?

How would it be a threat to security, unless, of course, you are a spy? Or a wanted international crook.

Tons of fun ..

Laughed so hard I cried- Especially the babies that looked like little old souls ..

According to the Telegraph - << glance at the terms and conditions of FaceApp shows that you are giving the app a "perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable sub-licensable license" to use and reproduce your image in all media formats "without compensation to you". >>

Also - <<Privacy International has warned that mass collection of faces is a "highly-prized commodity" for governments and tech companies, used to train algorithms and for facial recognition-enabled mass surveillance. >>

As facial recognition becomes more commonplace your image could also be used for fraud and identity theft.

Cambridge Analytica, anyone?

Just a bit of fun. A young friend did it and she looked just like David Beckham - hilarious. I won't bother unless they can make you look younger

On the surface, it seems a bit of fun, however, having read the terms and conditions as posted by SueDonim, I think there's reason to be wary.
I see myself looking more like my Mum everyday anyway and other family members think I do, too, so I don't need an app to age me another 30 years!
I won't be using it myself as I'm not on Facebook, etc and have no wish to be.
I don't really see how "it's offensive to older people", just something to be wary of, as I say above, given how our data can be exploited.

Just wondering if it would make me look 120
