Clubhouse Wants to Upload Your Contacts’ Phone Numbers - Michael Tsai

I've been playing with Clubhouse (thanks Hector 😏) a bit. I say playing because it has not really engaged me yet. But I do not like how it is so pushy to get access to your address book. In fact, you cannot use any invites to invite others to join unless you give it complete access to your address book. It then uses that data, very smartly, to show you who in your address book has the most other people on Clubhouse that also have them in their address book. So, it essentially builds a social graph out of your address book and everyone else's. It’s gross, and the thing I dislike the most about Clubhouse.
