The breaking news in the UK today is definitely that Debenhams set to close all 124 shops putting 12,000 jobs at risk. Debenhams workers are urging the UK government to intervene to save their jobs. But I don't think the government can do much about it at this point. #techpol20w8

@TechPolicyMPhil At the moment, many people don't choose electric cars just because the prices of EVs are generally higher than petrol cars. However, with technological breakthroughs and increasing government subsides, the bans on diesel and petrol cars in 10 years seem realistic. #techpol20w7

@TechPolicyMPhil It's a very exciting news but I don't expect the vaccine will make the current situation any difference this winter. Currently we don't know when will the vaccine be available. Even it's ready, there will be a long queue for vaccination and it requires two dozes. #techpol20w6

@TechPolicyMPhil One thing I always think the firms can do better to keep our data safe is that instead of asking about the security questions, they should apply a more reliable two-factor authentication. With today's social media, it makes everyone's accounts much easier to hack. #techpol20w5

The most breaking news in China today is that Ant Group's about $37bn IPO has been suspended by the regulators. I think it is a good thing because Ant should be treated as a finance company rather than a tech company with a ridiculous high P/E ratio after IPO. #techpol20w4

@ZhenxingLi1997 @TechPolicyMPhil @voxeu @CGenakos One biggest concern in every health data sharing project financed by Big Tech like Project Nightingale is that personal health data can be assessed by so many staff in this project and they might be able to sell or share these data to third parties in the future. #techpol20w3

@TechPolicyMPhil @d_spiegel Sounds like a fantastic idea for non-scientists to interpret the risks from the papers. With more people start to use this tool, a large database will be generated and hence they could provide those scientific information about risks to their clients directly. #techpol20w2

@TechPolicyMPhil @EarthshotPrize Prizes like @EarthshotPrize are needed in this world to stimulate the technological innovation. I wish this kind of prize can be promoted more globally especially in Asia to allow more people to participate in and seek the breakthroughs in key technologies. #techpolicy20w1
