1st @joinClubhouse I listened to was on the topic of my interest area: data privacy. What I learned from the speakers and Q&A made me decide to HODL my invites until they deal with some seriously troubling issues.
ie, Chinese language privacy policy indicates that all eligible data transferred to PRC affiliate for NLP processing. CCPA/GDPR seem like they haven’t even gotten to the afterthought stage yet. VCs seem to be gunning to grow in flagrant (but familiar) disregard for data rights.
Clubhouse vulnerable to getting hit with existential penalties in EU for after-thoughting data rights whilst Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter refine their pre-compliant clones pre-juiced with pre-built social graphs. We have seen trendy networks fail to beat the incumbents before.
They have a billion dollars in VC so they can afford to pay for data rights compliance. Why would these VC’s not worry about CCPA or GDPR? Because they can always leverage a massive userbase to help overturn laws. That has proven to work now too.

The diabolical genius of Qanon as a manipulation is its fundamental distraction for an audience from researching Trump’s actual heinous crimes proven with legal evidence, among which it has been painfully thrilling to excavate with the crowd similarly over these past 5 years.
It has been said Q is like an alternate reality game to excuse Trump, a LARP potentially managed abroad by adversaries and/or domestically by industrial grade grifters. Researching Trump’s actual crimes has been an occupation of volunteerism by the so-called resistance for years.
Tonight’s pardons are perhaps the true “storm.” The completion into truth of a cast of characters that true amateur researchers had pegged even before the professional press. The problem with Q is it perversely mirrors a dark truth about citizen journalism.
Want to learn more about this internal polling data showing Trump could’ve promoted masking without losing support?!? nytimes.com/2020/12/31/us/…
It’s even Fabrizio data! (the same pollster Manafort instructed Rick Gates to send data to Russian agent KILIMNICK over WhatsApp per Mueller and SSCI report)
No words. Except to honor the dead. Each and every day. By the thousands.
Missed this from Friday: FTC rips Bannon’s “bluster” for refusing to cooperate with their investigation of unresolved issues in the Cambridge Analytica case (such as whatever happened to the data, Steve?) law360.com/articles/13394…
“The FTC urged a D.C. federal judge to order Bannon to appear at a hearing the commission requested in September 2019 as part of its wide-ranging probe…” law360.com/consumerprotec…
“Perhaps realizing that he cannot refuse to attend the investigational hearing simply because he intends to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights, Bannon resorts to groundless accusations of improper motive," the @FTC's attorneys wrote. "But it's all just bluster."
Unfortunately, this is the end-game clash of pure American entrepreneurialism (anything goes grift) clashing against pure American democracy (the so-called beacon of the “free world”).
