Thanks to those who joined us for the first episode of our Clubhouse Speaking Series, "Welcome to the Future: Legal Issues with Using Clubhouse"! We had great fun and a great turnout, and we look forward to entering the Club again in just a few weeks. Given the ephemeral nature of the platform, we wanted to memorialize some key takeaways from the room: We Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet. It's important to remember that even though Clubhouse is valued at $1 billion and has 10 million subscribers and counting, the app is currently in beta form. We expect major changes to the platform, so we will all have to watch closely over the coming months to see how it evolves. Rumors include developments like ticketed talks, subscriptions, the ability to tip your speakers, an influencer program and more! It’s Apparently Not Meant to Be Used for Commercial Purposes. Huh? As of now, according to its terms, Clubhouse is not intended to be used for commercial purposes or advertising.  » Read More

In the last year, Facebook adjusted some of the most fundamental rules about what gets posted on its platform, halting algorithmic recommendations of political groups, banning lies about vaccines and removing a number of high-profile figures for spreading misinformation and hate – including Donald Trump.But researchers say the social media platform is not enforcing those policies as effectively when it comes to misinformation in Spanish – a blind spot that may prove deadly as health lies spread through the most vulnerable populations during the global vaccine effort.“Prior to the election, Facebook was rolling out new enforcement actions and policy updates week after week,” said Carmen Scurato, a senior policy counsel at the civil rights group Free Press who studies Spanish-language misinformation. “But what we are observing is that those enforcement actions don’t seem to be replicated in Spanish.”“Although before the election we saw Facebook make an effort to take down some disinformation, we did not see that same effort on Spanish content,” echoed Jacobo Licona,  » Read More
