FBI says FaceApp is a ‘potential counterintelligence threat’ because of its ties to Russia<div class="feat-image">

<p>Remember FaceApp? It went viral over the summer as a way to transform your selfies with aging effects, glasses, and more. Almost immediately after it went viral, users started
voicing concerns over the app’s privacy policy and its ties to Russia. This prompted US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to
call on the FBI to investigate FaceApp for potential national security concerns.</p>
<p>Now, the FBI has
officially responded to Schumer’s request, stating that apps developed in Russia, including FaceApp, to be “potential counterintelligence threats.”</p>
