There was something about this on A Current Affair (that's the one whose 'anchor' has gone on indefinite sulk leave because the #metoo viciousness she barracked for has hit another wall of justice with John Jarrat found with no case to answer).

As an old person, who wouldn't know what Instagram, Face App or most other apps are all about, I can say, "Who gives a stuff!". I certainly don't. I understand that there is nothing new about FaceApp anyway.

If there is a risk to 'privacy', stiff cheese. The nitwits seem to be enjoying taking pictures of themselves and broadcasting them to the world. And, oooh, the Russians are involved.

If this garbage is what the younger generations are concerned about (self-inflicted, mind) it's no wonder Australia and the rest of the West is going down the dunny

I'm mostly honest with most folk. But, some of the sites and apps want far more ID info than they need, consequently, and in some instances. I create a false persona for them. And a few passwords even the smartest con artist/com tech has trouble cracking?

As my dad said, when he taught me to drive, regard every other driver as a complete idiot, be ready to take evasive action and b aware of every escape route as you drive. Given the unpredictable nature of the idiots behind the wheel.

And if applied to the internet and the strange folk/con artists, who want to sell you stuff or provide a fake service or some such. giving them way too much information, helps them do just that.

Life on the internet is already like living in a goldfish bowl, without adding the IT equivalent of an Xray machine as well!

Privacy matters, but only, it would seem, to those who would rob you of yours!
