8/9: A large component of the evaluation process for the NCCA is improving the "civilized" conduct of officials and residents. Eg, cracking down on open spitting, pet misdemeanours, jaywalking, line cutting when queuing, and disobeying of no smoking signs.

In this episode of the @GAIGriffith podcast, I discuss @Liu_Chuncheng and my recent research examining the impacts of #SocialCreditSystem Blacklists in China. Is the state's naming and shaming of 'untrustworthy people' in China having its desired effect? listennotes.com/podcasts/gri…

Pleasure speaking with @JonoLooseCannon about my research on the #SocialCreditSystem and the lessons we can draw when it comes to the application of big data tech for governance in liberal democracies. The podcast Loose Cannon examines contemporary challenges to civil liberties.
