Privacy concerns in IoT data collection and transmission

Topic; Privacy concerns in IoT data collection and transmission.  

MY Proposal 1:

1) A problem I want to find ways to solve/mitigate: Rising levels of depression among the masses due to social media.

2) How do I know it is a problem?

a. I read an article in MIT Management Sloan School website

https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/study-social-media-use-linked-to-decline-mental-health

b. There is also this published journal on Time Spent on Social Media and Risk of Depression in Adolescents: A Dose–Response Meta-Analysis,

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9103874/

3) Who is impacted by this problem? Adolescents, teenagers, college students, parents, teachers, and everyone who is using social media extensively.

4) My Proposed Research Question: What have researchers learned about…_the impact of social media on the mental health of users, ways to mitigate or solve this problem using Social Media Data Analysis.

MY Proposal 2:

1) A problem I want to find ways to solve/mitigate: Privacy concerns in IoT data collection and transmission.

2) How do I know it is a problem?

a. I went through an article on office of the Victorian information commissioner website https://ovic.vic.gov.au/privacy/resources-for-organisations/internet-of- things-and-privacy-issues-and-challenges/

b. I also read an article about A Review of Security and Privacy Concerns in the Internet of Things (IoT) https://www.hindawi.com/journals/js/2022/5724168/

3) Who is impacted by this problem? IoT device users, individuals concerned about privacy, individuals who are trying to switch to home automation using IOT devices

4) My Proposed Research Question: What have researchers learned about…Methods that can be employed to ensure secure and private data collection and transmission in IoT environment and ways to mitigate or solve privacy and data breaches
