Criticisms: GDPR incompatibility, lack of accessibility and #FOMO trend
Clubhouse's dubious data protection concept , which probably also violates the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has not prevented many influencers in Germany from quickly jumping on the bandwagon since mid-January and switching from WhatsApp to Clubhouse amid schizophrenia about "privacy" rules. For example, more than 1,000 people gathered virtually in a Clubhouse room where German Digital Minister Dorothee Bär (CSU) discussed the "Year of Diversity 2021" with entrepreneur Tijen Onaran, journalist Niddal Salah-Eldin and other guests.
The radically free-spirited nature of the rooms, while gambling data saudi arabia ostensibly egalitarian, has already sparked controversy. New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz has written about how some Clubhouse rooms are turning into bastions of misogyny , anti -Semitism , and racism . Without recording, independent observers have little way to investigate these accusations.
Raul Krauthausen, a German author known for his work on behalf of people with disabilities, criticizes the app for being exclusive instead of inclusive . In an Instagram post, he highlights " what humanity is certainly not lacking at the moment:
an app that excludes deaf people and is not accessible
an app that is elitist and exclusive
an app that promotes FOMO "
Instead, he advocates " JOMO ", the " Joy of Missing Out ", which would allow us to free ourselves from this perpetual need to be informed about everything.
