BIG DATA can involve anything like the consumer/customer transactions,search histories,production databases,log in and outs ,online interactions etc..

 When it comes to digging out truths and facts *Journalists can create wonders with BIG DATA hacks and at the same time follows with negative privacy impacts too...well...the more you read about BIG DATA the bigger you feel there is someone out their testing your online actions...there is someone peeping out there..its a BIG DATA stare..!!!!!
" I believe in the power of lived experiences and documenting stories . I try to survive amidst the stigma, hate and act against any means / system of oppression. Considers intersectionality as to be the most important in politics and elsewhere. Trying to learn, relearn and unlearn as a journalist. My beat is health and I pursue it with understanding of communities "
