Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected devices that collect and transmit data for further processing. The size and nature of the data generated by IoT devices determine processing, transmission, and regulations involved in the application. IoT applications that require Multimedia Big Data (MMBD) also pose some privacy and security issues. Legal frameworks to deal with IoT related issues are either nonexistent or nascent. Effective regulatory measures are required to set in place to deter the unlawful use of the colossal data that is generated through IoT devices from every walk of life, including but not limited to, smart homes, wearables, connected cars, health care, smart retail, and many more. The flow of data across the continents and countries rises accountability, security, and privacy concerns, because the country from which the data was collected and the country in which it is processed may have incompatible laws. This chapter details the fundamental issues related to the use of MMBD in IoT applications and also presents a systematic discussion of some emerging questions regarding the transfer and use of data across the internet.
