Clubhouse Is Recording Your Conversations – Not Even Its Worst Privacy Problem
- shock 6y agoIt's returning a 404 now. Internet archive says it's archived the page one time, but when you click to see the snapshot it says it doesn't have it in the archive :-/

- biddit 6y ago“We need access to your contacts in order for you to choose people to invite” is the message shown when you click on the invite feature. I found it just straight up hostile given that there is no technical reason for needing my contacts to send an invite. It soured my view of Clubhouse enough that I uninstalled it.
- theklr 6y agoDitto. The fact it does and continues to harass for access is deeply disturbing
- guilhas 6y agoAll chat apps ask permission for your contacts upfront. I don't like it, but I don't understand why single out this one?
- consumer451 6y agoWait a sec, are you telling me that all the power players on Clubhouse have shared their contacts with Clubhouse? If they did, maybe I need to lower my privacy guards? I’m confused.
- panda88888 6y agoThey probably did what I did — a burner phone with only the contacts they want clubhouse to see.
- consumer451 6y ago> ... a burner phone with only the contacts they want clubhouse to see. I have an android phone just for testing various apps, but I am not convinced that busy execs would allocate time and effort to that, but they do have assistants I suppose. Would love to know the data on this.
- ddmma 6y agoBack in the old days while in conferences they would track you down on your interests and what kind of sessions you been. Experienced uploading contacts list with Viber and then Wazzup had this after signup, so it’s entry a house rule, nobody forcing you to join the club. Pretty scary when they will normalize data in between platforms based your phone number or emails. Also in radio or mobile companies they will keep temporary a history audio recording.. so makes sense, but not for the private rooms man.
