¿Cuáles son los riesgos de esta actividad a simple vista " inofensiva"?
Además de violar la privacidad de los menores ya que ellos obviamente no son conscientes de esta práctica, se calcula que cuando un menor cumple 5 años sus padres ya han compartido 1000 fotos suyas. ImageImage

Los especialistas advierten que el 50% de las imágenes que se distribuyen en redes de pedofilia son tomadas de esas publicaciones.
Hay que recordar que cuando se suben imágenes o vídeos a las redes sociales y la web perdemos el control total de ellas.

Vamos a hacer el papel de aguafiestas con @faceapp_ai

1. El aviso de privacidad está en inglés y el que no esté en nuestro idioma limita mucho a gran parte de la población que no pueden dar su consentimiento verdaderamente informado al respecto de cómo su privacidad se afecta
2. También tienen un “resumen” con algunos puntos clave de #FaceApp; entre los cuales destacan:

- “Utilizamos proveedores externos de almacenamiento en la nube, específicamente Google Cloud Platform y Amazon Web Services, para procesar y editar fotografías.”
- “La aplicación solo sube a la nube las fotos que seleccionan específicamente para editar”
-“Las foto se almacenan temporalmente en la memoria caché en los servidores de la nube durante el proceso de edición y se cifran“
-“se almacenan hasta por 24-48 hrs después de la edición”

[Thread sobre FaceAPP]

O #Faceapp ataca novamente e já parece que esquecemos as polêmicas relacionadas ao aplicativo.

Vamos falar sobre o que é e os problemas envolvidos em torno do uso desse serviço.

Segue o fio e dá RT 🧵
O #Faceapp é um serviço russo que utiliza Inteligência Artificial para modificar o rosto das pessoas, permitindo deixar o indivíduo com aparência envelhecida e experimentar diferentes cortes de cabelo. A moda agora é transformar seu rosto em diferentes "gêneros". +
Problema 1: Transfobia

Diversas pessoas trans e não-binárias que eu sigo já comentaram sobre os problemas de reforçar o gênero biológico (homem x mulher).

Então, é bem desrespeitoso utilizar IA para identificar gênero através de fenótipo.

It’s time for a thread about #ZAO, the new Chinese app which blew up since Friday. The app is accessible only to Chinese people for the moment but I managed to get an account ;)

This "AI facial" app allows you to add your face on predefined clip.

1/n
Let’s start by the beginning, as far as I can see, #ZAO is NOT uploading your camera roll to their servers.

Yes, they upload the photo you use to create the deep fake to their server (which makes sense)

2/n
As said this morning and during the #FaceApp episode, for privacy reasons, don’t upload your face to a random app.

Yes, this is cool but once your face is uploaded you lose your rights on it. They can do whatever they want

Hi @faceapp_ai 👋

Once you applied the filters, #FaceApp is storing insecurely your modified photo in the sdcard. As a consequence any app with the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission can get your FaceApp photos without your consent and know when you took the photos.

Regards,
To be fair with #FaceApp, this is a very common error in the #Android world. For example, @WhatsApp and @WeChat store the attachments on the sdcard too.
The POC to show the problem is available on @Github, have fun! github.com/fs0c131y/FaceA…

You are worried about #facebook and #FaceApp, but use #Microsoft #Office every day? Time to be concerned! Did you know that Microsoft is processing lots of data about you without telling you about it? 1/n #GDPR #ePrivacy
Through its software and operating system, #Microsoft collects and stores personal data about user behavior, so-called #diagnostic data, on a large scale. Microsoft collects this data in various ways: 2/n
via system-generated logs of events on its servers and via the telemetry client in Windows 10, in Office 365 ProPlus, and in the mobile Office apps. These telemetry clients collect diagnostic data on your device and send this information to Microsoft's servers in the US. 3/n

Queridos amigos, es sábado, sabadete así que toca hilo de #privacidad y #protecciondedatos. Hoy la protagogonista es una aplicación femenina llamada MyDays, o su nombre largo, My Days - Ovulation Calendar & Period Tracker ™. ¡Empezamos el hilo!
Esta aplicación femenina sirve para controlar el ciclo menstrual y la ovulación. La idea es saber qué días de tu calendario menstrual eres fértil, y así saber cuándo puedes quedarte embarazada, o cuándo evitarlo. Descargas: más de 5 millones de personas.
Muchas mujeres que quieren quedarse embarazadas entran en un círculo obsesivo, desgastante y, en muchas ocasiones, tóxico para ellas, que son quiénes lo sufren realmente. ¿Qué ocurre con estas aplicaciones? Pues que juegan con este hecho, lo incentivan, creando dependencia total

Je fais moi aussi parti des signataires de la tribune #nofakescience. Une tribune dont le but est d’alerter sur le traitement médiatique des sciences, trop souvent léger et parfois même en opposition avec les savoirs établis.

1/beaucouptrop
L’ensemble des considérations suivantes ne représente que mon point de vue personnel et n’engage que moi.

Je n'ai aucun lien d'intérêt, d'aucune manière et sous aucune forme, avec Monsanto, l'agrobusiness, les laboratoires pharmaceutiques, etc....
Signataire d'une tribune "scientiste"...

Pour autant, étant issu d’une formation en épistémo/histoire des sciences, je ne me fais pas d’illusions sur l’objectivité scientifique. Un chercheur, une discipline est forcément influencé par les savoirs et les débats de son temps.

This is why you must not ever install #FaceApp. I have tried to perform an autopsy of the long and boring terms of usage and the creepy privacy policy. Please read the entire thread if you care about your privacy
Faceapp not only tracks you, but the also allows the advertisers to track your content, which includes pretty much everything from your device including messages, photos, videos, list of other apps, billing information with your play store account
You also give faceapp irrevocable access for using, modifying, publishing and selling your 'content' once you install faceapp. Which means once you install the app, developers own pretty much everything on your phone.

There’s been a lot of backlash over #FaceApp—which uses AI to turn people’s faces old and gray—being run by a Russian company that sends user pics to its servers. Some of those concerns are warranted.

But trust us, there are bigger apps to worry about 1/ wired.trib.al/9q4mbmT
Contrary to a viral tweet, FaceApp doesn't upload ALL your photos to the cloud. It does upload the photo you give it—which it says it usually deletes within 48 hours. That's hard to prove, but if this unnerves you, let us introduce you to Facebook 2/ wired.trib.al/9q4mbmT
Facebook has nearly 2.5 billion monthly active users to FaceApp’s 80 million. It, too, applies facial recognition to photos that users upload to its servers. Unlike FaceApp, it was just fined $5 billion by the FTC for privacy violations 3/ wired.trib.al/AccIrZ6

1/3 For the love of all that's good, please don't use #FaceApp. Its user agreement says that you "grant FaceApp a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate...
2/3 ... create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display your User Content and any name, username or likeness provided in connection with your User Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed, without compensation to you." ...
3/3 ... Does that sound like something you want to be signed up for?

Digital privacy and security matter now more than ever.

I wanted to try this #FaceApp thing to see what Teletubbies should look like in 2017. Image
Also, that made me realize how easy to fool AI face recognition is. With just few lines here an there it sees whatever it wants to see. Image
I don't have a mixtape but here's a bonus image Image

Hola, amigos. Voy a adelantar a hoy el hilo semanal sobre #privacidad y #eticadelosdatos porque el fin de semana, que es cuando suelo publicarlo, me será muy difícil conectarme. ¿Adivinan de qué app voy a hablar? Sí, de #FaceApp aunque me resulte un poco cansino, he de admitir
Algunos datos de #FaceApp antes de entrar a examinarla:
Política de privacidad: 1.822 palabras. Última actualización 20 de enero de 2017
Condiciones de uso: 4,360 palabras. Última actualización 8 de marzo de 2017
Rastreadores (Trackers): 6
Permisos: 10 (3 Peligrosos)
¿Qué nos dice esta info? Varias cosas. La primera, que tanto su política de privacidad como sus términos de uso son anteriores al RGPD. O lo que es lo mismo, que les importa tres pitos la #privacidad, y que saben lo complejo que es que les caiga un puro legal.

عزیزانی که از تماشای قیافه خود، ان شاء الله در پنجاه سال بعد لذت می برید و به یکدیگر می خندید و حال می کنید که چه پیرمرد دماغو یا پیرزن نقلی خواهید شد، استحضار داشته باشید که با این اپلیکیشن ... (۱/۳)
همه اطلاعات ذخیره شده روی تلفن همراهتان را، از عکسها گرفته تا پیغامهای خصوصی سخاوتمندانه در اختیار شرکتی روسی قرار می دهید. تاکید می کنم: شرکت روسی
بنابر قوانین روسیه اگر سازمان اطلاعاتی این کشور بخواهد که به اطلاعات شرکتها دسترسی پیدا کند، این شرکتها موظف به همکاری اند. (۲/۳)
این اپلیکیشن را مفت و مجانی محض تفریح شما نساخته اند بلکه با فروختن اطلاعات شما به شرکتهای تبلیغاتی پول در می آورند اما باز هم در همین کشور شریف روسیه هر خدانشناس یا خدابشناسی از هر جای دنیا می تواند پول بدهد واطلاعات شما را از این شرکت بخرد، از جمله برادران سرباز گمنام. (۳/۳)

NEW: Late in 2018, #FaceApp moved to the Skolkovo Innovation Center run by the Russian government.
FBI in 2014 on the Skolkovo foundation (managed by Oligarch Vekselberg): "The Foundation may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation’s sensitive or classified research, development facilities and dual-use technologies with military and commercial applications."
#FaceApp is now in the same building as Skolkovo Ventures - a Russian government investment company into IT and tech. It appears that FaceApp is a Russian government funded operation to harvest data.

Remember Cambridge Analytica? Not long ago right?
So I wonder why my friends are enthusiastically sharing aged/gender swapped pictures of themselves on an app called #FaceApp
The creator is a Russian tech firm we don't know much about, Wireless Lab. 1/
forbes.com/sites/haroldst…
While you are enthusiastically aging yourself it's important to note that the technology behind this is a deep neural network which learns from the data it gets. Think of AlphaGo, AlphaZero, and how scarily good AlphaGo got just by training itself on amateur games. 2/
AlphaGo was able to defeat the world Go champion. Note that before the use of these neural networks, computers weren't able to beat a good amateur. But by training themselves they can defeat the world champion, see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaGo_v… (also cool Netflix docu) 3/

If you use #FaceApp you are giving them a license to use your photos, your name, your username, and your likeness for any purpose including commercial purposes (like on a billboard or internet ad) -- see their Terms:
Their address per their Terms is: Wireless Lab OOO
16 Avtovskaya 401
Saint-Petersburg, 198096, Russia
Their Privacy Policy is not remotely GDPR compliant. It says that your data can be transferred to any location where they have a facility ... which means Russia.

#FaceApp o lo que es la resaca del 10YearsChallenge
A eso llega andar regalando datos y entrenando algoritmos IA para cálculo de envejecimiento.
Hay muchas cosas que me sorprende más que a la gente le sorprenda, que la sorpresa misma que causa el tema en cuestión. Por ejemplo este rollo de la FaceApp.
Noticias:
Envejecimiento es el menor de los temas que maneja esa app, esos algoritmos.

Pueden alterar rostros como se les pegue la gana.
¿Todavía queda duda de donde salen la imagenes de perfil de tanto puppet?
