Ageing App In An Age-Old Row: Data Collection Charge On FaceApp

An app has become a talk of the town in India - this is an app that uses augmented reality and can either make you look 20 years younger, or even 50 years older. People, even celebrities, are having great fun using this app. The ageing app is also in the middle of an age-old controversy - that of data misuse and leak. The app has been criticised for being of Russian origin, for imposing strict terms and conditions whereby they can permanently keep and use all your photographs. All of this reignites the classic debate of data protection and prevention of possible misuse.
