Some commentors point out that though they never put their faces into the app, their family and friends did upload their faces without consent. Literally nothing is stopping anyone from just fishing through public DBs and uploading just about anything into the app.
There are issues of consent, of what is 'personal' data, of who 'owns' that data, of public vs. private, etc.
We've all been on this ride for a while now and it's not getting any more clear. If anything, it's getting more and more murky. Deepfakes are now able to be done on a laptop, essentially. EULAs are basically ghosts, the public cannot understand/see them but is terrorized by them at random. Privacy is meaningless despite it's proven requirement for proper adolescent/human development.
I think we're in a time now where we need a new idea and a new way of doing things and thinking about our world, where a paradigm shift is required.
Our ideas of personal data, of public data, of private data, of consent, and of ownership are no long going to work. The ethics aside, the old ways of doing things are not workable anymore.
What does a flawed, yet workable, solution look like?
