Clubhouse is pressuring users to upload their contacts, prompting them to join welcome rooms with their former bosses and exes, and suggesting they invite their therapists, deceased grand-aunts, and 10-year-old phone cards. https://onezero.medium.com/clubhouse-is-suggesting-users-invite-their-drug-dealers-and-therapists-a8161b3062fc

I asked Clubhouse exactly what data it collects on your contacts, how it uses that data, what data it's storing on people who aren't even on Clubhouse (like your weed dealer who it somehow knows has 83 friends on Clubhouse).

The company did not respond. https://onezero.medium.com/clubhouse-is-suggesting-users-invite-their-drug-dealers-and-therapists-a8161b3062fc
