For the past three days, social media has looked like everyone will be entering a nursing home very soon. This new trending app, FaceApp, allows people to take a glimpse into the future with a feature that makes them look older. The app also allows you to change your hair color and give you different types of beards.
FaceApp probably won\’t destroy society, but the privacy trade-off is still shady as hell https://t.co/MgbDlsyKW8 pic.twitter.com/8Wwx7Z2O84

News reports say that the app was created by the Russians, and people are claiming that by using the app, it allows the Russians to have access to your personal information. I will admit that I downloaded the app and made two pictures of my boyfriend prior to knowing about the Russians. There are other apps and social media formats that also can obtain your personal information when you agree to certain terms and conditions, so I don’t know why everyone is acting so surprised.
I deleted the app because you couldn’t do much else, so there was no point in me keeping it. I’m honestly just ready to stop seeing creepy old people all over my timeline.
This was literally me earlier today.
