Note latest eg: FaceApp (compare with the one in previous post called NudeApp)
The viral app, created by a Russian start-up....The app is simple to use. Take a selfie and pick a filter - make yourself look older or younger, change your hairstyle or add a smile.

One line in FaceApp's terms of service should ring alarm bells: "You grant FaceApp a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid, transferable sub-licensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display your user content and any name... without compensation to you." In short, you have given the company the right to use your image and name in any way it wants, without them having to pay you a single cent.

US Senator Chuck Schumer last Wednesday called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Trade Commission to investigate FaceApp because of its ties to Russia, saying it could pose "national security and privacy risks for millions of US citizens". US Democratic Party leaders also warned campaign teams not to use the app.

Note these good current examples for use in ur BANGs and essays...useful for arguing why people get duped by fake news as these are people whom we place trust in unquestioningly:

In Singapore last year, swimmer Joseph Schooling's manager Ronda Ng Doswell said online ads have been misusing the image and name of the Olympic gold medallist, and a police report has been made about the matter. The ads on Facebook had the headlines "Schooling Reveals His Genius Wealth Strategies" and "What Schooling Is Doing With All His Wealth". Outside of Facebook, other high-profile personalities have found their names and photos used in fake articles or websites and social media accounts - including PM Lee, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and billionaire Peter Lim.

Relate to the 2017 AQ on swarm mentality and danger of sharing data where ur pics in ur social media platform can find their way to other marketing websites (including porn sites -- after they have stripped u naked using NudeApp!) without ur knowing and consent...

Qn: ‘Young people are not careful enough with the use of the internet.’ Discuss.
