Recently, an incident about different mobile phones buying tickets for the same flight at the same time and displaying different ** has sparked a public controversy about big data killing.
A netizen reported that on the Fliggy platform, the ticket for the same flight at the same time on the same day was displayed as 400 yuan, 481 yuan and 1330 yuan on three mobile phones, of which the most ** was the lowest price of 3325 times, raising questions about whether big data is used for personalized pricing.
In response, the Fliggy platform responded that it had begun to investigate the matter, and stressed that it would never use big data to kill ripeness.
According to the platform, the display of air tickets** is affected by multiple factors, including the delivery of **merchants**, the use of coupons, etc., and the possibility of human negligence is not ruled out.
Industry experts and representatives of other ** travel platforms also pointed out that similar ** differences may stem from various **, membership level differences and coupon use, rather than deliberate big data killing behavior.
In addition, when the surging news investigated a number of ** travel platforms, it was found that there were indeed differences in the air tickets for the same flight at the same time, but these differences were usually within 30 yuan, and each platform said that it complied with ** regulatory provisions and did not deliberately carry out big data killing.
In response to the problem of big data killing, China has relevant regulations that explicitly prohibit ** tour operators from abusing big data technology to set unfair trading conditions.
Experts suggest that consumers should compare prices on multiple platforms when buying air tickets, and try to buy through official channels to avoid possible differences.
