Abstract
Big data, also known as massive data, refers to information that cannot be collected,
managed, integrated, and provided to users in a reasonable amount of time by manual
means. Although difficult to handle, big data has unlimited value and has become

big data era. Big data technology requires the freedom, openness, and sharing of
data, and we have entered the era of data sharing. However, we are also constantly

and responsibility in the era of big data and brought new challenges to traditional
ethics.
Big data technology is a new technological revolution that is currently emerging,
essentially a continuation of the information revolution. Literally speaking, big
data refers to the extremely large data capacity in a database, which has reached
the so-called PB or ZB bytes or even larger. But the large data capacity is only
