amna nawaz has the story. >> nawaz: that's right, judy. at first, it seemed fun.ebrities, like lebron james, wereploading pictures of themselves using faceapp to make them appear older. a number of other celebrities have joined in-- comedian and actor kevin hart, for example, and the former boy band the jonas brothers. but then, the fun turned to wrinkle-causing worry in some quarters. that's partially because of the location of faceapp headquarters: st. petersburg, russia, and, because the democratic national committee warned campaigns not to engage on faceapp. let's clarify what the concerns are about, and the larger picture around all of this. joseph jerome is with the center for democracy and technology, a non-profit that aims to protect the privacy rights of internet users and advocates for stronger legal controls on government surveillance.om joseph, weto the "newshour". >> thank you for having me. >> reporter: so let's talk about the concerns. penal are wondering where are md photos goingow are they being used. are those legitimate concerns? >> i think it's

plus, amna nawaz, and lisa desjardins. the studio. yamiche, let me come to you. the president had been, it ems, determined to add this citizenship question one way ort thr to the census. now he's backed down. why? >> this is a big loss to president trump and he's esntially admitting he ca't argue for the citizenship question to be added to the nsus without jeopardizing the census itself. the supreme courruled the administration's reasoning was essentially contriefd and they were arguing theoting rights act needed to be betr enforced, the voting right that's supposed to prevent discrimination in voting. the president is now saying they can't do it without essentially putting at risk the census. the census is already being sresented. critics say this chilling effect because the census is tied directly to how weri dite money, how we draw congressional lines and tied to the electoral college. so there is already som people fear an effect where immigrants won't want to fill out the census. but the president is saying he can't get done what he wanted to do. >> woodruff
