That is why the Clubhouse was blocked, because in it citizens could discuss the situation in the country without censorship.
China was the first in the world to block an app in early February. It is known that in audio chats they discussed the situation with Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as repressions against the Uyghurs.
Clubhouse is a social network consisting exclusively of voice chats, where users create “rooms” to discuss various topics. Another feature of Clubhouse is the ability to access the service only when invited by one of the users.
