Controversial private social app Clubhouse was again the target of criticism on Sept 28, after a conversation with hundreds of listeners devolved into a platform for what some saw as anti-Semitic comments.
The flareup highlights a potential weakness for the voice-based community app, which has drawn ire for its policies on harassment, even though it’s not available to the the public. Despite remaining invitation-only – or perhaps because of it – Clubhouse has generated a level of buzz disproportionate to its number of users, and has raised funds from Andreessen Horowitz and other top investors at a US$100mil (RM415.55mil) valuation, just a few months after its debut.
