Clubhouse is an audio-based social network, with a real name policy, where you are talking to absolute strangers. Anyone who is talking privacy in this context shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the internet. 🙄 https://www.inc.com/...

Wow, this is fast, easy to see why #Clubhouse attracts so many people. Yet my worry is that concerns about user information and data #security get brushed under the carpet in the face of the scramble for #monetization. Screw #privacy, right? https://twitter.com/...

The things data-mining people's voices, voice recognition software & tools to manipulate audio & video can do. Deepfakes are just the tip of the iceberg. People leapt onto clubhouse ‘forgetting’ all the privacy concerns they said they had on other apps... https://www.inc.com/...

I said all of what's in this article months ago Clubhouse is literally tracking your every move on their platform and in your phone too. It's super invasive; we should create better spaces to connect (PS: it took 31 days for them to delete my account) https://www.inc.com/...

If you're worried about facial recognition and your voice data being harvested you really shouldn't post pictures of yourself on the internet, go on podcasts or use Clubhouse. I think we're all too late tbh. The data has already been captured by surveillance ‘companies’ https://t…

PSA: What happens in Clubhouse does not always *stay* in Clubhouse. The audio-only social app sprung a leak this week, adding to concerns from privacy experts about user data security. NSP author David Thiel lays it all out for the @BBC https://www.bbc.com/...

“Even if you haven't created an account, if someone you know has, there's a good chance Clubhouse already has your phone number. That's because the app encourages users to upload their entire contacts database in order to send invitations.” also why deleting fb is useless https:/…

Clubhouse, the app du jour, has pretty notable constraints—no photo-sharing options, no chat function, and no way to share links or type out a question. So app makers are getting creative. And @pardesoteric is on it https://www.wired.com/...
