They actually store your photos in their server. And you give them permission to use your photo (and name) for commercial purposes.https://t.co/4LtKhRXqS0

Everyone out here using #FaceApp to take pictures forgets that FaceApp NOW owns their face and can do whatever the hell the want with it. AKA facial recognition technology, selling it for ads and beyond. WHY DO YOU PEOPLE GIVE OUT YOUR DATA LIKE THIS. https://t.co/jBYwTQ92YR
