      Misguided idea, imo. Trying to "fact-check" whatever one encounters (because it's digital) is counterproductive and, frankly, an authoritarian impulse. Plus, journalists should NOT be reporting on everything they can access. News value and public interest, not gossip and prying.https://twitter.com/NiemanLab/status/1359934480417501185 …

      Clubhouse poses major challenges for fact-checkers since it doesn't keep old posts, audio files, or allow users to record conversations. https://nie.mn/3aOeUni

      We have enough real problems with our public sphere and the digital transition. Lack of "fact-checking" on a platform explicitly designed for ephemerality (which limits its public impact) is pretty low on that list.

      If Clubhouse starts incorporating virality and algorithmic amplification, all this might change. If I had to guess, I'd say people would then flee it the way they flee from here. I guess undue media attention plus the Clubhouse growth team may well cooperate to make that happen.

      Also: Tech people are upset at existing tech criticism/reporting. While there are notable exceptions, the real problem is most tech reporting HAS NOT BEEN properly critical and too often focuses on trivia and remains superficial. Tech has NOT been criticized/scrutinized enough.

      This ☝️☝️☝️☝️ Reporting on tech is hard, because it requires a deeper understanding of how platforms work on a technical level. And simplifying the explanations often distorts or completely hides what's happening.

      Replying to @nralbers @zeynep

      I'm absolutely fine with criticism of tech, but it helps a lot if the criticism is based in actual reality, not in how people think it works.

      +1 - which means more substantive engagement needed on the part of both the companies and the critics

      Rob, yes, and it could start with you guys providing real access to things that matter. One of the reason some of the reporting sucks is that people are doing their best from the shadows they can see and selective dribs and drabs—and then it gets called anecdotal.
