⚠️ New App Spotlight: Clubhouse and its Risks for Teens

What it is

Clubhouse is an audio-based social networking app that allows users to join virtual rooms and engage in live discussions. It has become popular among teens for its interactive format and celebrity participation.

Why it's dangerous

The app has weak age verification processes, making it easy for adults to pose as teens. This raises significant risks of grooming, as predators can easily join discussions with young users.

Which kids are affected

Ages 13–17, primarily using Clubhouse for social interaction.

What parents should do today

• Discuss the importance of verifying who they are talking to on Clubhouse and other apps.
• Encourage them to report any suspicious users or conversations within the app.
• Review their Clubhouse account settings together and ensure privacy settings are adjusted to limit who can join their rooms.
