ClubHouse: the social media launched by Elon Musk with many doubts behind it

Clubhouse is a new social network that took advantage of the launch of Elon Musk who even invited Vladimir Putin, obtaining moderate interest:

MOSCOW REGION, RUSSIA – NOVEMBER 13, 2020: Russia's President Vladimir Putin is seen in his office in the Novo Ogaryovo residence during a video-conference meeting with members of the Board of Trustees of the Talent and Success Foundation. The meeting discussed issues related to Sirius Educational Center. Alexei Nikolsky / Russian Presidential Press and Information Office / TASS

How does this new social network work? Here are some key points:

  • First of all it is still in a development stage so it works by invitation only. They are obviously testing the ability to manage data and are increasing the capacity little by little;
  • The social is presented as a social only vocal. When you log in, the app offers a page full of conversation topics to follow, from sports to technology, world affairs, faith, chaos and so on. In each one you will find people interested in the same thing and can follow them. The more topics and people you follow, the more likely you are to get suggestions for a room that fits your wishes.
  • Rooms are not permanent and are opened or closed by the people who open them. The rooms are moderate. If a person of particular interest enters then the moderator can put them “On stage”, on stage, and they can talk without being interrupted, like a kind of podcast. This does not mean that everyone else will be silent, there is a chance to raise your hand
  • Currently the maximum capacity of the rooms is 5000 people. The social network appears to be dedicated above all to those people who need an audience to talk to. So it's fine for Elon Musk, or for a Hollywood star. For others it is a kind of Zoom, without video.

Privacy issues? yes, of two types:

  • the app wants to access the contacts of the person who signs up. If on the one hand this facilitates the sending of invitations, on the other hand Iene to profile people based on their contacts, and not only those registered, but also those not registered. You can be profiled even without being interested in the App;
  • the chat is exclusively vocal, so you can reach the profiling of individual people. This, coupled with AI, can lead to identifying a person in every single phone call, regardless of the number they are calling from, or recreating the person's voice.

The App received 100 million in capital when it had only 1500 subscribers. Curious about the launch that Elon Musk makes, will he be behind this APP too? If you like it, and you have an iPhone, you can test it. As long as someone invites you ..
