Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for a federal investigation into the St. Petersburg-based FaceApp
FaceApp denied funneling Americans’ data to the Kremlin, saying in athat the app does not “sell or share any user data with any third parties,” and that said data is “not transferred to Russia.” Still, the DNC, which has beefed up its security since 2016, is urging caution. “It’s not clear at this point what the privacy risks are, but what is clear is that the benefits of avoiding the app outweigh the risks,” Lord said.
Lord and Schumer are right to be concerned, particularly in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which the-linked consulting firm mined data from millions of Facebook users through a third-party quiz app, using it to better target voters with political messaging and ads. That episode brought Facebook’s mishandling of user privacy to the forefront, and upped the ante for other social-media companies that use data in a similar way.
