FaceApp has taken over the internet. Again.
FaceApp has taken over the internet. Again.
For some of us who are yet to join the #FaceApp bandwagon, the whole idea of using a filter to make ourselves look forty to fifty years older is absurd, to be honest.
But clearly, some can't get enough of it. For those wondering why their social media is filled with pictures of elderly people, here's why. FaceApp has taken over the internet. Again. This time, the feature which alters your photo to make you look younger or older has gone viral.
The app relies on neural networks to identify and analyse how you'll age over the years. But guys, come on, enough with the photos already.
However, there's a silver lining. Like every viral trend, we've been blessed with some hilarious memes which'll leave you chuckling. Check these out:

Faceapp is a perfect example of how easily manipulated we are in helping to create distopian surveillance systems. #faceapp

And the point "but companies already have our data" is moot. With trends such as #FaceApp, abstract entities are conditioning you to wilfully handover your data in exchange for some dopamine-inducing likes. — Fuzzy (@fuzzyrants) July 17, 2019
[1] Sorry to be a party pooper, as fun as FaceApp might be, you’re effectively donating free biometric data to a private start-up who can sell it on to anyone they please, including health, insurance, and security firms... #FaceApp
