Before bringing the ability to create a Space to everyone, we\u2019re focused on learning more, making it easier to discover Spaces, and helping people enjoy them with a great audience,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/product\/2021\/spaces-is-here.html\"><span class=\"s1\">post<\/span><\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The company explained how the process will work, saying that those who use Twitter on iOS and Android will see a purple bubble at the top of their timeline when someone they follow \u201cstarts or speaks in a Space\u201d as long as the conversation is live. \u201cWhen you join a Space as a listener, you can react to what you hear with emojis, check out any pinned Tweets, follow along with captions, Tweet or DM the Space, or request to speak,\u201d the company said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Twitter added that it is also creating a ticketed option where hosts \u201ccan set ticket prices and how many are available to sell. A limited group will be able to host Ticketed Spaces in the coming months. Hosts earn the majority of the revenue from ticket sales and Twitter will keep a small amount as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also safety features built into the conversational experience, which allow hosts to mute people and remove attendees entirely. The company added, \u201cAnyone can report and block others in the Space, or report the Space. Also, people you\u2019ve blocked can\u2019t join a Space you\u2019re hosting, and you\u2019ll see labels and warnings if someone you\u2019ve blocked is speaking in a Space you join.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joinclubhouse.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Clubhouse<\/span><\/a> app is a social networking platform where users can join if they are invited by an existing user. It is an audio-only platform where people can hold conversations with other users.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Clubhouse\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/clubhouse-drop-in-audio-chat\/id1503133294\"><span class=\"s1\">description<\/span><\/a> on the app store states, \u201cClubhouse is a space for casual, drop-in audio conversations\u2014with friends and other interesting people around the world. Go online anytime to chat with the people you follow, or hop in as a listener and hear what others are talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Platforms like Clubhouse have become popular among users who fear they might be censored by large technology companies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Conservatives have pushed back against members of the media who have spoken against the use of Clubhouse because it allows people to hold conversations without being monitored. In mid-February, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nytimes\/status\/1361450276750848000?lang=en\"><span class=\"s1\">tweeted<\/span><\/a> an article discussing Clubhouse, writing, \u201cUnfettered conversations are taking place on Clubhouse, an invitation-only app that lets people gather in audio chatrooms. The platform has exploded in popularity, despite grappling with concerns over harassment, misinformation and privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Later, the Times seemed to see a potentially different side to the social networking platform, writing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/05\/02\/world\/middleeast\/clubhouse-iran-egypt-mideast.html\"><span class=\"s1\">story<\/span><\/a> about how the \u201cClubhouse App Creates Space for Open Talk in Middle East\u201d and allows people to talk freely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIf you can\u2019t have any kind of political representation or anything, you can have an app where you can sit and talk or at least listen,\u201d said Eman al-Hussein, a Saudi analyst and self-described Clubhouse addict, according to the outlet. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s become so important.
