  60% of respondents have experienced big data "killing"

  In recent years, the problem of "killing" big data in Internet consumption has attracted much attention.

In the first half of this year, the Beijing Consumers Association entrusted the Beijing Sunshine Consumer Big Data Research Institute to carry out a survey on the "killing" problem of Internet consumption big data.

The Municipal Consumers Association recently released an investigation report on the problem of "killing cooked" big data.

The report shows that more than 70% of the respondents believe that there is still a phenomenon of "killing" big data, and more than 60% of the respondents said that they have been "killed" by big data; no obvious big data was found in the experience survey. The problem of "killing familiarity", some platforms have the phenomenon that new and old users buy the same product at different prices at the same time.

  In the questionnaire survey, more than 70% (76.77%) of the respondents believe that there is a phenomenon of "killing" big data, a decrease of more than 20% (22.97%) compared with last year (99.74%); more than 60% (64.33%) The interviewees indicated that they had been "killed" by big data, which decreased by more than 20% (22.58%) compared with last year (86.91%). This set of data shows that although the "killed" of big data has declined, it still exists.

  Respondents said that they encountered the most "killing" phenomenon of big data when shopping online, followed by online travel and takeaway consumption.

Over 60% of the respondents believe that big data "killing" is mainly reflected in the fact that different users enjoy different discounts or discounts; in addition, for the phenomenon that some people have consumption coupons while others do not have consumption coupons on the same platform, more than 80% of the respondents They believe that the results of issuing discounts or coupons are unfair, and more than 70% of the respondents believe that the rules for issuing discounts or coupons are not transparent.

  In the experience survey part, the experience survey did not find obvious big data "killing" problem, and some platforms have the phenomenon that new and old users buy the same product at different prices at the same time.

In the experience survey, among the 63 consumer experience samples completed by 18 platforms, 36 samples have consistent prices for new and old users, and 27 samples have inconsistent prices for new and old users.

The price inconsistency is mainly reflected in the different amount of discounts and discounts enjoyed by new and old users, or different types of discounts, resulting in different final actual transaction prices.

Some samples with inconsistent prices have opaque discount and promotion rules, and are suspected of infringing on consumers' right to know and fair trade.

  In response to the "killing" problem of Internet consumption big data, the Municipal Consumers Association put forward a suggestion: In view of the fact that the relevant laws and regulations are still in the stage of gradual improvement, and it is difficult to detect and investigate the "killing" behavior of big data, it is recommended that relevant departments further innovate supervision methods Methods, explore the establishment of a big data online supervision platform, use big data capture and audit and other methods to monitor the price and other relevant data information of the e-commerce platform in real time, and timely make predictions about the possible "killing" behavior of big data.

At the same time, it is recommended that consumers should minimize the traces of personal information on the Internet, pay attention to closing applications with functions such as personalized recommendation, selecting or deleting individual user tags, and reducing the frequency of using functions such as search and collection on the platform. When purchasing goods or services online, Try to compare prices at different merchants in different ways.
