🔥 As FaceApp Goes Viral, So Do Concerns About Privacy, Russia Ties
FaceApp爆紅的同時,背後卻是資安漏洞?
- go viral 迅速竄紅(就像病毒viral一樣)
🧐 Just as quickly as a free photo-editing app went viral among smartphones users this week, it drew a backlash that exposed growing concerns about digital privacy and the potential for abuse from overseas actors.
本週,一款免費的手機修圖應用程式迅速走紅,但同時也因為國外演員的濫用,引起了強烈反彈,暴露出人們對數位隱私的日益擔憂。
- backlash (社會或政治方面的)強烈反應;強烈反對
✏️ FaceApp, which was developed in Russia and lets users upload photos of people’s faces that they can then alter to appear older or younger, saw a spike in popularity this week. The surge was driven by such celebrities as LeBron James and the Jonas brothers posting images on social media of what they might look like decades in the future.
FaceApp 開發於俄羅斯,用戶可以上傳臉部照片,改變自己臉的樣貌,讓自己看起來更老或更年輕,本週人氣暴漲。爆紅的原因是勒布朗.詹姆斯和喬納斯兄弟等名人在社交媒體上發布了他們老了之後可能的模樣。
- alter 修改;改變,(使)變化
- be driven by 受…所驅使
- spike 上升至非常高的數量(價格或程度)
🐍 Launched in 2017, the app has been downloaded more than 95 million times world-wide, with more than 20 million of those downloads occurring since July 11, according to estimates from Sensor Tower Inc., a mobile analytics firm. It is most popular in India, followed by the U.S., and is currently the No. 1 downloaded iPhone app in all but one of the 84 markets the firm tracks.
該應用程式推出於2017年,根據移動分析公司Sensor Tower Inc.的估計,該程式的全球下載量已超過9500萬次,其中2000多萬次的下載是在7月11日之後。FaceApp 在印度最受歡迎,其次是美國,目前在該公司追蹤的84個市場中,幾乎所以地區都是iPhone app store的排名第一,只有一個市場例外。
- occur (尤指事故及其他意外事件)發生
✍️另外有個常見的說法是it occurs to me that… (突然想到.../突然冒出...的念頭)
註:此新聞為去年7月18日之報導,故數據可能已有變動,近期FaceApp因為推出「變性」功能而再度爆紅,攻佔各大社群媒體版面。
#誰能比我正?
#照片秀起來
未完待續...
究竟為何它的隱私安全引人擔憂
背後又跟什麼政治陰謀有關?

泰國攝影影師鏡頭下的台北,
哇!!我覺得好⋯厲害喔!!
#台北 #泰國攝影師
ถ้าเพื่อนๆมีโอกาสไปเที่ยวต่างประเทศสัก3-4วัน เพื่อนๆอยากไปประเทศไหนกันครับ?
ส่วนตัวผม ผมเลือก “ไต้หวัน” ครับ
ผมว่าไต้หวันเป็นตัวเลือกที่ดีสำหรับคนที่อยากไปถ่ายภาพ เพราะมีสถานที่ให้ถ่ายภาพได้เยอะมาก อีกอย่างเลยคือค่าครองชีพไม่สูง ค่าเงินก็ใกล้เคียงกับประเทศไทยด้วยครับ
มาไต้หวันครั้งนี้ผมมีโอกาสได้ลองถ่ายภาพด้วย Fujifilm X-T30 หรือที่เรียกกันว่า The Little giant จากทาง Fujifilm ครับ ที่มาของชื่อ The Little giant ก็คงเป็นเพราะใช้ Sensor ตัวเดียวกับรุ่นพี่ใหญ่ Fujifilm X-T3 คือ X-Trans CMOS IV แถมยังมีโฟกัสที่ครอบคลุมได้ทั้งภาพ และในที่แสงน้อยก็ยังโฟกัสได้มีประสิทธิภาพ ซึ่ง Noise ก็น้อยมากครับ ส่วนเรื่องตัวกล้อง ก็มีขนาดที่กะทัดรัด จับถนัดมือมากขึ้น แถมน้ำหนักเบากว่าตัวพี่ใหญ่เยอะครับ
ผมได้เลือกภาพถ่ายที่ผมชอบ มาให้ทุกคนได้รับชมกันครับ

If friends have a chance to travel abroad for 3-4 days. Which country do you want to go to?
Personally, I choose ′′ Taiwan
I think Taiwan is a good choice for people who want to go to photography because there are many places to take photos. Besides, the cost of living is not high. The money is also close to Thailand.
Come to Taiwan. This time I have a chance to take photos with Fujifilm X-T30 aka The Little giant from Fujifilm. The source of The Little giant is because of using the same Sensor as the senior. Fujifilm X-T3 is X-Trans CMOS IV. There is a focus that covers both images and in less light. It's effective. Noise is very little. The camera has compact size, more hand grip and lighter weight than the big brother.
I have chosen my favorite photo for everyone to watch.

烈日下 沒盛世的衣著 便任性的脫著 青春的掙扎
大路上 逐漸覺得詩意倔強 便盡興的唱著 青春的方法
雨會灑 天會黑 但你會送給我一把傘
當一切渴望能蒸發
世界如煙
而靈魂如傘 撐著青草黃花
而時日如傘 撐著希冀一剎
總要記得坐下時 就有我
抬頭 就有你
撐著
到脆弱時 就有愛
到自由時 再出發
撐開新的你我 就是漂亮
別睡著 就定有些天使會遇上 就定有些眼淚在流著 青春的資格
雨會灑 天會黑 但我會送給你一把傘
當一切渴望能蒸發
世界如煙 懶理它
而靈魂如傘 撐著青草黃花
而時日如傘 撐著希冀一剎
總要記得坐下時 就有我
抬頭 就有你
撐著
到脆弱時 就有愛
到自由時 再出發
終於一天不再害怕 牽著手走人間
而時日如傘 撐著希冀一剎
總要記得雀躍時 就會笑
彷徨 就會喊
撐著
到脆弱時 就有愛
到未來時 撐著
撐開新的你我 就是漂亮
撐開新的世界 就會歸家
Composers: Michael Lai & Stephen Mok
Lyricist: Chow Yiu Fai
Under the bright sun, if you don't have the clothes of the fat years, shed, willfully, all the struggles of being young.
On the road, I start to realize how stubborn tenderness is, so I sing, till I can’t, all the ways of being young.
Raindrops may fall, the sky may threaten, but you promise me an umbrella.
While every yearning is evaporating,
the world goes up in smoke.
And our souls are like umbrellas, opening up some green grass and yellow flowers.
And our days are like umbrellas, opening up moments of hope.
We must remember when you sit down, there is me.
When I raise my head, there is you.
Open up.
At times of vulnerability, there is love.
When we are free, we will embark, again.
Open up a new you and a new me, beautifully.
Don't fall asleep, you will come across some angels, and tears will flow, the qualifications of being young.
Raindrops may fall, the sky may threaten, but you promise me an umbrella.
While every yearning is evaporating,
the world goes up in smoke. Who cares?
And our souls are like umbrellas, opening up some green grass and yellow flowers.
And our days are like umbrellas, opening up moments of hope.
We must remember when you sit down, there is me.
When I raise my head, there is you.
Open up.
At times of vulnerability, there is love.
When we are free, we will embark, again.
Some day we won’t be afraid any more and we will walk hand in hand.
And our days are like umbrellas, opening up moments of hope.
We must remember when we are delighted, we will smile.
When we are lost, we will cry.
Open up.
At moments of vulnerability, there is love.
Before future comes, open up.
Open up a new you and a new me, beautifully.
Open up a new world, then we go home.
