Not going to dignify this with a link, but the difference between Clubhouse and something like Facebook is that **nothing** can "spread unchecked" on Clubhouse because it's live audio to people who opted-in to the room with no algorithmic promotion to anyone. pic.twitter.com/j2OemlNr38

“In at least one instance, [Stanford researchers] observed [Clubhouse] room metadata being relayed to servers we believe to be hosted in the PRC, and audio to servers managed by Chinese entities and distributed around the world” https://t.co/U6eJzB2UW0

"What if you didn’t give Clubhouse access to your contacts, specifically because you didn’t want all or any of them to know you were there? I regret to inform you that Clubhouse has made it possible for them to know anyway & encourages them to follow you." https://t.co/IUlqAHA1Tt

Clubhouse’s privacy issues may run much deeper. A new report from @stanfordio finds “easy to uncover” flaws in data handling that “pose immediate security risks to Clubhouse’s millions of users, particularly those in China.” https://t.co/6Nz12Pf2g9

This happened to me yesterday. A creep I went on a date with once in London 3 years ago followed me on Clubhouse. He's already been blocked for doing the same on every other platform. I was livid when I discovered he could find me on CH. https://t.co/ssd6wclgs0

Clubhouse - or Silicon Valley broadly - is either willfully ignorant of data protection risks pertaining to any entities in China or doesn't care enough to think this is a problem. The US needs better laws to force companies to care about user privacy. https://t.co/qksHU0uXuJ

I loathe this prompt on Clubhouse and just about any modern social app. A casual tap to share every private contact you know about everyone. There has to be a better way https://t.co/ZjtZCVMmne pic.twitter.com/G9RkKy3SpB

One point of clarification in this fantastic @stanfordio report is that it was Clubhouse's decision not to have it on the app store in China. Was wondering about that. But why did it take an outside org to get Clubhouse to take extra security measures? https://t.co/amfFtXSWmJ

"Granting an app access to your contacts is ethically dicey...
Some social networks even use this sort of info to start building secret dossiers on people who don’t use the app...
At least 2 additional ways Clubhouse appears to take users’ contact data further..." https://t.co/SzBB27U3cD
I'm shocked a Silicon Valley startup didn't think through its security and thought working with a Chinese company would not bring scrutiny. It took an outside org, @stanfordio, to confirm Clubhouse's relationship with Agora, and more in this ? report: https://t.co/QWiVfqYQTS

Well, yes, if you want to say that Clubhouse replicates the basic flaws of human existence that's fine.

But I think Twitter and especially Facebook pose a unique kind of danger in terms of the ultra-rapid diffusion of crazy ideas & hate speech.
