Yeah but if the goal of the room is to foment hatred and target harassment at an individual who isn't in the room, that's still abuse.

- andrew_v4 6y agoDoes this apply to a phone call? To a zoom call with five people in it? Should trying to stop someone from doing something, even if abhorrent, in private, really be a priority? I can only see this ending badly. If there is a link to real world crimes, sure, intercepting a discussion is one method available to detect / deter / deny / disrupt, just like a wiretap. But (and maybe I misunderstand your comment) beginning with the idea that we should try and prevent conversations we find abhorrent from happening is, well, abhorrent.
- alex_g 6y agoNo, and that's not what I said. Clubhouse is not just private phone calls. It's a social network.
- meowkit 6y agoWhat is a social network? Fundamental its a graph structure of human relationships. Humans are the actors/nodes and edges are the interactions. Two people chatting fits this criteria. You can have a private chat on Clubhouse between two people.
- alex_g 6y ago> Clubhouse is not just private phone calls. Yes, you can have a private chat on Clubhouse. You can also have a private chat on Facebook or Twitter. They are all social networks. I don't think trying to find edge cases for what constitutes a social network is helpful to this conversation.

- Dracophoenix 6y agoVersatility is not an edge case. By your standard, conference calls can't be considered phone calls because few people ever used the feature.
- alex_g 5y agoI feel like I shouldn’t need to explain why a conference call and a social network are different.
- cutenewt 6y agoModerating private discussions (e.g. most Zoom calls) are very different from moderating public discussions.
- Dracophoenix 6y agoWhere's the distinction? It's like saying a phone call is functionally different from a conference call. Both Zoom and Clubhouse use private infrastructure, thus all discussions are private even if many people are involved in them.
