Everyone\u2019s talking about Clubhouse<\/strong>. It already has two million users just one year after it was set up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s our take on whether brands should get involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our CEO, Tamara, talked to Wired<\/a> recently about her concerns that the site doesn\u2019t have effective moderation. She has been co-moderating a room, and finds that people are free to say what they like (it rests on the moderator to report them and remove them from the room if they are inappropriate). Anyone could set up a room dedicated to anything – hate speech or conspiracy theories, for example. In late 2020, Talyor Lorenz began to compile a list of \u201cincidents and issues<\/a>\u201d that users had with the app – issues such as racism, sexism and antisemitism. Tamara argues that Clubhouse needs more stringent moderation practices and that perhaps introducing an Uber-like star rating system for users would help moderate behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has however had some rather large teething problems. It\u2019s exclusivity (Clubhouse is still invitation-only) limits its appeal. It\u2019s still only available to iOS users, which has some Android users up in arms. And there are some serious questions about data protection, privacy and moderation. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
