Clubhouse audio to make an app for Android users

Clubhouse has joined the list of social media firms that have stepped up to protect Afghan users personal data and information

The social audio app has reset tens of thousands of its Afghan users’ bios and photos, and made their accounts more difficult to discover in search.

A spokesperson for Clubhouse said the actions didn’t affect the users’ followers, and all of the changes can be reversed if a user prefers.

Clubhouse stated that it had consulted with free expression and violent extremism experts to help craft its approach.

As the Taliban have regained control of the country, many people in Afghanistan have tried to delete photos from their social media accounts and phones that could show a connection to the West, or the former Afghan government

Despite bans on many social platforms, the Taliban has been able to push its messaging on social media.  US Publication The Washington Post says the group has become ‘sophisticated at social media tactics in an attempt to change its image’.

On Thursday, Facebook confirmed its platform had added security measures for users in Afghanistan, including hiding “friends” lists and adding a tool to quickly lock down accounts.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.
