Wandering Aimfully: The Show

039 – FaceApp Old Age Photos, Societal Norms, and Small Business Attacked by Big Business

Episode 039

Listen to the audio version


Episode Summary

Last week FaceApp took over the Internet and we rode the wave along with it (you can see Jason as an old man here). What are the implications of uploading our photos to a random app and should we be concerned about the privacy implications?

What about the societal norms of men and women when it comes to aging? Can we do something to counteract the stigmas associated with getting older?

We also chat about Cat & Cloud Coffee getting sued by Caterpillar (yes, the billion-dollar construction company is suing a small neighborhood coffee company over a trademark). It’s pretty crappy when a small business gets attacked by a big business so we wanted to share our thoughts and ask for your support too. You can listen to Episode One and Episode Two from the Cat & Cloud founders talking about the lawsuit.

We hope you enjoyed this more random episode. Should we do more episodes like this?

🤔 QUESTION FOR YOU: Do you think we need to be concerned about things like FaceApp having our photos and being able to use them? Is it as important as bigger privacy issues? (Feel free to comment with your answer on YouTube).
