Clubhouse the New Social Media Doesn’t Allow You to Record Conversation
Clubhouse is probably the popular social media being talk right now and you can get to understand its popularity due to a number of factors. Among this is the feature of having a meaningful conversation and direct interaction with the more prominent members of society and as well as a platform to have discussion but Clubhouse’s guideline has a prohibits rules of recording and transcription of information obtained on the app. As Clubhouse prohibits the recording, transcribing or otherwise reproducing, manipulating and/or sharing of information without the express authorization or permission of Clubhouse and all users that originated the content.
But the Clubhouse conversation aren’t private unless it is being set up to be private and the rooms which are created for all public space can join and they have more in common with public panel discussion or even press conference that you will find similarity here and in setting like those, it is not uncommon for attendees to record or take note what is being shared.
You can try to argue that it is more private than something like Facebook or Twitter but if there are a user base of million which runs off a simple unmoderated invite system as the Clubhouse stated that “all original content that a user shares in Clubhouse is owned by that user alone.”
Alongside unclear processes and the inability to confirm whether the recordings are actually deleted after the room ends raises more than a few eyebrows to the data and privacy practices of this new application. But as the platform tends to grows later, it will need to look at a proper verification and vetting and also having a system in place to make sure important discussion on topics like Covid-19 are properly labeled.
