U.S.-based audio app Clubhouse appears to have been blocked in mainland China after users had flocked in recent weeks to the platform for uncensored discussions.

An increasing number of Chinese users have gravitated to the invitation-only app, seeing it as a rare forum to express their opinions—as it doesn’t record the conversations and thus provides a degree of privacy.
