Clubhouse is the latest social network to neglect moderation until it becomes a crisis and why its creators shouldn't treat trust and safety as an afterthought

Plus: A tough review … Tweets: Tatiana Estévez / @tatiana_estevez : In light of recent issues on Clubhouse & harassment targeted at @taylorlorenz, I want to share some thoughts re how difficult it will be for CH to set up an effective moderation system — in particular, how difficult it will be to protect women & other marginalized groups. /1 Casey Newton / @caseynewton : Clubhouse is the latest social network to neglect content moderation until it becomes a crisis. I wrote about its co-founder's history of building boundary-pushing apps and the problem with making trust and safety an afterthought https://www.getrevue.co/... https://twitter.com/... Bo Ren / @bosefina : I've raised a lot of these issues early on using Clubhouse. Having more women and diverse voices on the platform won't change the adverse dynamics of crowding out marginalized voices without content moderation. https://twitter.com/... Kushaan Shah / @kushaanshah : “Moderation does not appear to have been a huge priority at Highlight or the team that built the “Tried It” feature at Pinterest. If Clubhouse is to live up to the potential its investors clearly see, its builders should consider making it one, and soon.” https://www.getrevue.co/... @mariedolle : Great in-depth piece by @CaseyNewton on Paul Davidson, looking back at his past experiences notably @Pinterest and pointing out that like many social startups before it, Clubhouse neglected to develop or enforce a key thing: strong community guidelines https://www.getrevue.co/... https://twitter.com/... Coral by / @coralproject : One of the founders of voice app Clubhouse has a history of building social software without moderation tools or anti-harassment measures. https://www.getrevue.co/... Our stance is clear: social software without moderation tools is unethical and dangerous. 1/6 Mathew Ingram / @mathewi : Former Pinterest staffer says when the founder of Clubhouse was there, “His entire perspective was always to push for, how do we get users to expose more data? User trust and safety was completely an afterthought” https://www.getrevue.co/...
