bulk data collection

Bulk data collection refers to the process of gathering large volumes of information from various sources, often without the individual consent of the subjects involved. This can include data from phone calls, emails, social media, and online activities. Organizations, including governments and businesses, may use this data to analyze trends, enhance services, or increase security. While it can provide valuable insights, bulk data collection raises concerns about privacy, consent, and the potential for misuse, leading to ongoing debates about the balance between security and individual rights.
