Users and hosts on audio-based social networking app Clubhouse need to be cautious about privacy violations and defamation as they could run afoul of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and Computer-Related Crime Act, say tech legal experts.
The invite-only app has gained popularity in Thailand over the past few weeks as a string of celebrities, public figures and politicians are heading to the platform.
The platform is seen as a venue for members to express their views freely, including on highly-sensitive issues. It has virtual rooms to join monitored by room hosts.
