The audio-based social network Clubhouse offered Chinese users a rare chance to have uncensored, free discussions on topics ranging from Xinjiang to Hong Kong protests in the past few days something that would otherwise be unimaginable on the heavily monitored Chinese internet. Now, the brief moment of free speech is over.
Beijing blocked the invitation-only app on Monday (Feb. 8), according to Clubhouse users in mainland China. On WeChat, many shared their regret at seeing the app finally barred, and said they now need to use virtual private networks tools for circumventing China’s great firewall to access Clubhouse, according to posts seen by Quartz. Michael Anti, an editor at China’s renowned financial publication Caixin, also tweeted that the app is blocked in most cities in China.
