Final answer:
In distributed IoT environments, data ownership is not always clear, and there can be ethical consequences related to personal data collection.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'In distributed IoT environments, data ownership is very clear. Therefore, there are few, if any, ethical consequences because of how data is gathered, owned, and protected.' is False.
In distributed IoT (Internet of Things) environments, where devices are connected and exchange data, there can be ethical consequences related to data ownership.
An example is the collection of personal data by companies and governments, where individuals may feel they have little control over the data collected. This raises ethical concerns about privacy and the potential misuse of the data.
