In case you want to sign-up and cannot get the client side validation to accept your password: they apply email validation to the passwords. You'll have to make up a password that's also a valid email address. In other words, something like: aBqwdHkjh@oqwIrd.com

Why are they doing that?

The "How", "Why", and "Who" links aren't working for me. Are they working for anyone else?

It's a javascript link. Try clicking rather than opening in new tab. Worked fine for me.

Open dev tools and select networking - this page performs so many concurrent requests to load images, it will never work on medicore connection using mobile device. It even fetches/tries to renders one that are 404.

So, I should upload a picture of my face to some random website/app to let it do something silly with my face and just let them have a picture of my face?

Didn’t the FaceApp incident _just_ happen? What’s the privacy policy for this website?

Just upload a picture of your dog. Pretty soon the tech will be good enough to identify you by your dog.

The "how" link in the top-right corner says:

Your photos are sent to our servers to generate portraits. We won’t use data from your photos for any other purpose and we'll immediately delete them.

So basically you have to trust them.

It's not that bad. The images are ~20kb each and it fetches ~10 images on the landing page. If I throttle the network to Fast 3G in chrome, the whole site takes about 10 seconds to load.
