What happens when you share photos on editing apps like FaceApp
by Catalina Ricci S. Madarang

Security concerns about Russian-based FaceApp resurfaced anew nearly a month after the

emergence of clone or ghost accounts on Facebook. 

FaceApp, released in 2017, is a mobile application that allows users to generate
realistic transformations of their faces which became one of the most downloaded mobile applications
across the world today.  

It rose to popularity last year because of an online challenge via hashtags #faceappchallenge
and #age challenge, wherein the app was used to supposedly predict an individual’s aged appearance
and share the result on Facebook and Twitter.

The app’s craze was further reinforced after local and international celebrities joined the
challenge including Jonas Brothers, Lebron James, Erwan Heussaff, Megan Young, Angel Locsin, and
Coco Martin, among others.

This week, the keyword “FaceApp” trended again on local Twitter with more than 30,000
tweets after online users including personalities and government officials used the app and shared
their edited photos on social media.

The app’s gender-swapping features became the new highlight as users shared what they look
like should they alter their sexual orientations.  

Local officials who participated in the trend include Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, Kabataan Rep.

Sarah Elago and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
 The
realistic, i
ntere sting, and

sometimes funny results of the tweaked images that FaceApp generates made it stand out in the
market.  

However, some Filipinos warned against the consequences of exposing their data to a mobile
program.  

One Facebook user noted that it was only weeks ago when the sudden emergence of clone or
dummy accounts on the social media giant caused public alarm.  

“We leaped from Facebook fake accounts scare to giving our data to FaceApp…in less than
two weeks,” Facebook user Justine Balane said. 

The country’s top universities, as well as civic organizations, and other personalities aired

complaints against empty, fake accounts bearing other Filipinos’ usernames.  

Facebook, however, has yet found proof that these accounts engaged in malicious and
coordinated acts.

surveys, newspaper articles, speeches, original documents like birth certificates, artifacts of all
kinds, and patents. Secondary sources describe, discuss, interpret, comment upon, analyze, evaluate,
summarize and process primary sources. Generally one or more steps removed from the event or
time period and are written or produced after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. Examples are

indexes, abstracts, commentaries and treatises.Tertiary sources serve as collection of primary and
secondary sources.Examples are bibliographies, directories and dictionary.
