　　Democratic Party leaders are warning that FaceApp, a photo-editing smartphone application developed in Russia, could present "national security and privacy risks for millions of U.S. citizens." FaceApp uses artificial intelligence to show a person what they may look like as they age. On Wednesday, U.S. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate FaceApp. Launched in 2017， FaceApp was developed by Wireless Lab, a company based in Russia. FaceApp says on its website that it has over 80 million active users. FaceApp has been criticized for not clearly communicating to users that it uploads images onto a shared "cloud" rather than processing the image results on an individual user's device. There is no evidence that FaceApp provides user data to the Russian government. In his letter, Schumer said it is not clear how the app keeps the data of users. It also is not clear how people can be sure that the app removes their data after usage. Schumer also said the company's connection to Russia raises questions about how FaceApp lets other groups, including foreign governments, gain access to the data of American citizens. In a statement published by several media organizations, FaceApp has denied selling or sharing user data with others. FaceApp also said most images are removed from its servers within 48 hours of the upload date. It said most people who use the app do not log in, so the company is not able to identify individuals. And, it said that while the company's research and development team is based in Russia, the user data is not transferred to Russia.
