DO NOT Use FaceApp (here's why...) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

 So unless you've been living under a rock

for the last week, you have heard of FaceApp

or maybe you've seen these photos online

where somebody post a photo of themself

and then a photo of themself aged

like 20 or 30 or even more years into the future.

So I also was seeing these photos

and this sensation even hit the personal finance community

with Jeremy from Financial Education,

and Graham, as in Graham Stephan,

and after seeing these photos,

I said, you know what, that seems like a fun idea.

I wanna jump on this bandwagon as well.

So a friend of mine that I went to high school with

sent me a photo of someone

that we also went to high school

with who did this FaceApp as well and it was really funny,

so he sent me that photo,

and I said, what's the name of this app?

I gotta do this myself too,

but after I mentioned that to him

and asked him where to download the app,

he said, I have no idea,

but I'm not doing it because I don't

want to give my face to the Russians, all right?

So, having just finished up

the third season of Stranger Things,

I personally thought he was yanking my chain here,

but after doing a little bit of digging,

what he said was actually 100% factual,

and that is why I am personally not using FaceApp,

and I would not recommend it until

you understand what they're actually doing with the photos

that they're taking of you

and the hundreds of millions of other people out there.

So I came across this last night at about 11 p.m.

I set my alarm early this morning

to shoot this video for you guys,

so all that I ask in return is that you drop a like,

drop a thumbs-up on this video

for the social reporting

I'm doing here on this viable trend.

I would certainly appreciate that guys,

as it does help out with the algorithm

and it'll hopefully allow this video

to be shared with more people.

Now, when you download the app itself,

everything seems to be kosher.

You open up the app, you don't need even need

to create an account in order to use it,

and you just start taking pictures of yourself

or allowing the app to access your camera roll

and then you can modify those photos.

So what most people do,

which is what we all do when we download an app,

is we simply download the app,

we don't look at terms and conditions,

we blindly trust the developer

of this app to be using our data in a responsible way,

or if you're like me, this is a thought

that just never crosses your mind

of what are they actually doing with these photos?

But it's a question that really needs

to be asked in the case

of what's going on here with FaceApp,

and when you actually dive beneath the surface here and

look at the terms of service for FaceApp,

let's just say things start to get a little bit weird,

and it almost feels similar to a plot to Stranger Things,

which is just the weirdest part to me.

So according to the FaceApp terms of service,

which we are going to actually look at in a second here,

you still own the content, aka your face.

However, you gave FaceApp

a never-ending irrevocable royalty-free license

to essentially do whatever the hell

they want with that photo.

So do they want to take it

and turn it into a Russian advertisement

for a milk commercial?

They have the right to do that.

Essentially, they can do whatever the hell they want

with that photo without your permission

because they have essentially already gotten your permission

as a user of the app, and I know this sounds kinda wild

and far out there, so I wanna prove it to you guys.

I'm gonna open up the terms of service now

and show you exactly where it states this,

and I'm gonna link this up in the description as well,

just so you guys can check it out yourself

and understand what is going

on behind the scenes of this app.

All right, terms of service,

section five, paragraph number two.

You grant FaceApp a perpetual irrevocable nonexclusive

royalty-free worldwide fully paid

transferable sub-licensable license

to use, reproduce, modify,

adapt, publish, translate,

create derivative works from,

distribute, publicly perform

and display your User Content and any name,

user name, or likeness provided

in connection with your User Content in all media formats

and channels now known or later developed

without compensation to you.

When you post or otherwise share User Content on

or through our Services,

you understand that your User Content

and any associated information such as your username,

location, or profile photo will be visible to the public.

So essentially, you are surrendering your photos,

your name potentially, if you make an account,

and your location to a app developer based out of Russia.

Now, is that in and of itself reason for worry?

I'm gonna leave that one up to you.

It doesn't appear that they're doing anything malicious

with this data as of right now,

but what it is is what could potentially happen

with this data three years from now, or five years from now?

So if we were to sit here

and speculate as to what they're actually doing

with these images, multiple sources online,

I've been doing a lot of research on this,

have said, it is most likely being used

to train an artificial intelligence facial recognition bot.

But at the end of the day,

the issue that I have with all of this

is that they are essentially using a free app

and capitalizing on virality to basically take people's data

and harvest their data without them knowing it,

and it is very similar to something

that happened about two years ago called

the Cambridge Analytica scandal that also involved Facebook

and it was strikingly similar.

So with Cambridge Analytica,

this company released an app

on Facebook called This Is Your Digital Life,

and it was essentially a personality quiz,

seeming totally innocent on the surface.

But they ran ads and they got thousands

of people to take this personality quiz,

but essentially they took that data from that app,

got an idea of people's political beliefs

and used that data to run political advertisements.

So essentially, it's almost

like these apps are just a front for deeper operation here,

like we saw with Cambridge Analytica

and that may also be the case here with FaceApp.

And the real issue here is that according to Forbes,

FaceApp now has user data on over 150 million people

and not even 100,000 people

have probably watched this video,

not even 10,000, in most cases,

so most people will never even know

that their data has been compromised in this way,

and most people simply look at this app as a funny gimmick,

but in reality, it is a method

of harvesting data for who knows what the reason may be.

But anyways guys, I just wanted

to put this video out here to warn you about using FaceApp.

I want you to at least understand what

you are getting yourself into before

you simply download the app

like everybody has and start taking funny photos,

because it goes a lot deeper

than just making yourself look 20 or 30 years older.

If you have a friend or a family member using this app,

please share it with them just so they're aware

of what is going on as well

and help me spread the word about what

is going on here with FaceApp.

I've also linked up in the description below

some helpful articles I came across in my research

that may help you understand more about what is going on,

and more about the parent company that owns FaceApp.

But thank you guys so much for watching this video.

Subscribe if you haven't already,

and I will see you in the next one.
