Facebook steals your photos and data Beware

FaceApp is a new fashion that has entered the world of celebrities today, but without us realizing it is a dangerous fashion and an application that reserves the right to steal you. As for your eyes and your hands, Dr. Moataz Kokash warned of the “risks” of the FaceApp application, which is concerned with making modifications to facial images such as optimizing, zooming, and others.

Kokash, an expert in combating cybercrime, said that the application carries ambiguity about the fate of the images being processed, even if the platform has been removed from your mobile device, as what the application makes clear is that the privacy policy does not guarantee the user the privacy and confidentiality of important data or images that will be processed, but rather It will go to wherever you may purchase the app.

Koch was pointing out that the images are not processed on the user's device by Facebook, but rather they are uploaded to the company's servers for processing and then the result is sent to the user.

He added, in press statements, that many users do not know what their data and personal photos can lead to in many modern applications, especially those related to the camera or photo studio. With things that may not be ominous.

He stated that this Application FaceApp is not the first of its kind to include such conditions. Rather, there are many applications that request permission to use images and data without referring to the user, and find the subscriber heedless or in a hurry accepting the conditions without reading or understanding them, to be a victim of technology.

Kokash pointed out that there are many cases that have bothered many Arab families and societies in particular, as a result of these wrong uses of applications, especially what falls within the reach of children or adolescents if not adult parents in some cases.

The technology expert called on everyone not to be reckless behind the fashion of entertaining applications in particular, “on the pretext of keeping up with the latest developments in the era of artificial intelligence without reading and understanding the terms and conditions related to privacy first in order to avoid user privacy.”

He recommended not giving the Facebook app access to the photo library or processing any private photos on it.
