Should we be concerned about the provenance of the company behind FaceApp?
People freak out by reading the vague T&Cs of FaceApp. You know what? This is the exact same thing for all the apps you installed on your phone. Read the T&Cs of your other apps and I can bet you’ll uninstall them too. Start by Snapchat for example

As far as I can see, there is no reason to be concerned with the current version available on the store. I don’t see why the nationality of the developers is an issue. There is also some legit devs in Russia.
-
Obviously, we can monitor the next updates but for now there is no reason to panic, Russia is not trying to steal people faces
-
Yeah of course, thanks for the response. Where is the upload server for FaceApp? St Petersburg?
-
As far as I can see, they use 4 URLs: - http://hosts.faceapp.io - http://static.faceapp.io - http://api.faceapp.io - http://tyrion.faceapp.io
-
These servers seems to be Amazon or Google servers which is consistent with the app itself. They rely a lot on 3rd party services, (
@facebook SDK@Firebase@AccountKit) which are ironically made in USA
-
@AccountKit is Australian my bad -
lol, so the data isn't even going back to Russian servers?
