What value do people really place on their personal data? An interesting debate has opened up because of the privacy implications of using this service.
Faceapp is just an example of the latest craze where people will rush to use an app without considering the wider implications of sharing their data. This is because information has an intangible value. If a simple google search can already display this data, then the argument can be made that the cat's already out of the bag.
The amount of data available grows year after year and although regulations are one approach to try and tackle this, education is also key for consumers to be aware of their privacy rights and the implications of using services which can share their data.
This is why cybersecurity and privacy should be part of the education curriculum to reduce wider societal harm.
