Invitation-only audio-chat platform, Clubhouse has become extremely popular across the world. However, researchers from Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) have revealed that the app could cause trouble for Chinese users.
This is because the app collects content, communications, and other information that participants provide, including when they sign up for an account, create or share content, and message or communicate with others. And the app temporarily records the audio in a room while the room is live.
In China, the government restricts open discussion of certain topics, “maintaining a ‘Great Firewall‘ to block domestic audiences from accessing many foreign apps and websites”. The SIO believes that “the government could eavesdrop on [users] conversations, leading to reprisals”.
