The second is the issue of data neutrality. Data is a representation of those facts, concepts and instructions that can be processed by manual or automated means, and is the numerical value on which various calculations, studies or designs are based, including numbers, characters, symbols, charts and so on. Although Big Data itself is objective and neutral, it may also produce non-neutral results in data processing and use, and this is mainly due to the presence of various human subjective factors in the process. In today's explosive growth of global data, it is precisely because people are biased in the process of utilizing technology that ethical issues such as algorithmic discrimination continue to emerge. For example, algorithmic recommendation has become increasingly mature with the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, but it has also inevitably brought about the ethical issues of bias and discrimination. In real life, some online shopping platforms usually use personalized recommendation algorithms, such as the "recommended" page or the gift of "red packets" and "coupons". In essence, algorithm design is purposeful and value-based, and it reflects the intention and choice of the design subject. Therefore, the algorithm based on the individual wealth gap, gender differences, health status and other information comprehensive grasp, can be personalized, differentiated recommendation of related products or services, but will also lead to different groups of people in the information mastery level of inequity, and even "big data to kill ripe" and other algorithmic discrimination phenomenon.
Third, the digital divide. The digital divide is a new social equity issue arising in the digital era. The digital divide in the traditional sense mainly refers to the huge difference in the use of digital technology in terms of data accessibility, data application, data analysis, etc., which is manifested in the fact that a part of the group is able to better access and use digital technology, but another part of the group is difficult to access and use digital technology. The imbalance in the distribution of digital technology resources generated by the digital divide will gradually give rise to group conflicts and social injustice. In the context of big data, with the popularization of mobile Internet, the digital divide and the resulting social equity problems are no longer mainly manifested in the accessibility and application of digital technologies, but increasingly evolve into the data divide, and are centrally manifested in the skills divide and value divide caused by knowledge, technology, economy and other factors. Some government departments, enterprises, research institutions, etc., are able to obtain and use data more easily, and grasp individual behaviors in society through mining, computing, storing, and transmitting data, while it is difficult for the general public to obtain huge amounts of high-quality data. Furthermore, even if the public succeeds in acquiring large amounts of high-quality data, many of them do not have the skills to analyze all kinds of complex data. As a result, the digital divide here will grow wider and wider, and unfair ethical issues arise in terms of data access, technology adoption, and value compartmentalization.
