Title: "Data Fishing Is Sometimes Referred To As"
Content:
In the context of digital privacy and tech ethics, "data fishing" is often colloquially termed "data scraping" or "user data harvesting". This practice involves systematically collecting personal or behavioral data from platforms, apps, or games without explicit consent, often to exploit it for advertising, analytics, or profit.
In India, this practice is particularly relevant due to the booming mobile gaming and social media landscape. Popular games like PUBG Mobile, Clash of Clans, and Dream11 have faced scrutiny for alleged data fishing, where user data (e.g., gameplay patterns, device info) is extracted to target ads or sell insights. Indian regulators, under laws like the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023), are tightening rules to curb such practices, forcing companies to balance monetization with transparency.
Thus, while "data fishing" remains the informal term, in legal or corporate contexts, it might be labeled "unauthorized data collection" or "non-consensual user tracking", especially in regions like India where privacy awareness is rising.
Note: This answer aligns with general tech discourse and India’s evolving data protection framework.
