People complain about mobile apps' abilities to do things they claim they "don't know about" when the privacy policy is literally right in your face. Sounds like a personal problem to me. You don't read the privacy policy and go ahead and install whatever you want because you're careless, it seems like a fault on the user's end.
It seems every living American adores pointing fingers at Russia concerning policies in their programs.
For example, I personally use Kaspersky's large range of personal internet security products and they will notify me and tell me whenever they change their policies or what not. I don't usually read it because I don't care, but it's not like they're hiding anything at all.
In specific, I do discuss this "FaceApp" app and The Washington Post's article specifically addressing it, which can be found here:
https://beta.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/17/you-downloaded-faceapp-heres-what-youve-just-done-your-privacy/?outputType=amp
I don't have or use FaceApp, but I think their article is nonsense
It isn't a surprise because most, if not all, of Washington Post's articles are nonsense anyway
"... which they know no one reads." Eugh... I put a table together incorrectly because I didn't read the instructions, so it's the table manufacturer's fault!!!
To protect myself the statement above following the quote is indeed sarcasm)
