Nowadays, most research investigating social networks is done based on big data collected
through sensors and other technical equipment connected directly to individuals (phone
applications, Bluetooth, localization, etc.).
This data includes parameters such as tone, pitch and volume of voice, length of information
exchange and conversation, gestures, body movement, physical proximity, and much more.
This data, when analyzed, reveals a lot about human behavior.
This data is valuable to organizations because it can help them identify causes of low
productivity, and thus, instore measures to raise productivity. At the same time, it is very
personal and sensitive data. There are clearly advantages and disadvantages to its use. What is
your opinion?

i would like to have severals opinion for a debate please
