Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

FaceBook developers have found that success is often controversial-when people start warning viral apps to upload your photos to their servers.

What happened: FaceApp, which took pictures of you and applied filters, first spread a few years ago. It's back, thanks to a new filter that makes you younger so you can see yourself at sunset. You must have seen it-we think everyone on earth has now seen at least a dozen social media posts from their friends that show that they look like old people.

What happened next was a tweet (now deleted) from software developer Joshua Nozzi warning that FaceApp was uploading photos from your device-rather than asking you-to its server. Others, as you might expect from Twitter, immediately piled up, and there were objections to FaceApp developers in Russia. At present, the United States and Russia are not the best partners and will only add fuel to the fire. No one has ever been able to put forward a good argument, and politicians (in the United States) have joined the trend, demanding that applications be reviewed.

But it was a complete mistake.

Joshua's original tweet may have been the cause of his anger, and now he says he was wrong. In a rare display of online humility, he even wrote a blog post apologizing for his mistake-he admitted he was too early. Joshua is even linked to the work of @ fs0c 1 31y, a French security researcher, who claims that the only photo uploaded is the seniors filter you want:

So, we guess there's no harm. Like almost all other social media applications? In short, yes. This is the problem, because it raises an important question.

What will happen to your photos on social media?

No one reads the license agreement. All applications you use, games you play, and websites you log in will not read the terms of service. It's all nonsense, full of legal jargon. Who wants a headache? But we should see this. Because, whether it's FaceApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or even Douyin, you give up the right to take pictures.

For example, this is what the FaceApp protocol says:

Faceapp tos

That's right-a permanent, transferable license that allows them to use your content (including photos) as they see fit. They can even create new content (or what they call derivative works) on this basis, and they have the right to reuse it and sell it further without paying you any fees.

Read further and you will find that they can even advertise with your photos and even retain the content generated by users after deletion. Facebook

The situation is no different:

Facebook Toth

It's almost the same, isn't it? Yes, they can advertise with your profile photo.

Same as Instagram:

Instagram tos

So is Twitter:

Tik-Tok? They are also fighting for power!

Douyin.

Even dating apps like Tinder have similar licenses. It also makes it clear that any screenshot is its attribute (although we have to admit that this may be to make it easier to stop trolls, bullying and retaliate against porn):

To be honest, everyone has similar terms of service.

Almost every cloud / multiuser / online application you use has a similar set of rules. Not only because they can make their own rules (you can stop using Facebook, but will you?) But because they may need to avoid any legal hassle, put your content on other users' feed. Of course, this is a good way to get advertising / promotional materials.

Are you worried?

I'd like to see it. Of course we don't recommend using apps from unknown developers, but given Facebook's so-called dark record, can you even trust well-known brands? Well, we can only advise you not to post very personal photos of these social platforms, because it's not just the fact that their terms of service are mixed, but privacy invasions and scandals like Cambridge analytica or Google's "data breach AREN" are not common. Although people may want to monitor these services so that these things do not happen in the first place, you must eventually take precautions before that.
