But the same MS researcher that developed "differential privacy" has said and explained how its not really effective except for in short terms studies. I'm surprised a publication coming from MIT would not bring that up. It seems like its just "clever" marketing on Apples part. Also Chrome already employees "differential privacy" for w/e thats worth.
- frankmcsherry 10y agoDo you have a quote for the first point? It doesn't sound (i) correct, or (ii) like something Cynthia would say.
- yladiz 10y agoMore so, is there proof of the second quote that Chrome uses differential privacy?
- frankmcsherry 10y agoIt's mentioned in the article: RAPPOR.

- devsquid 10y agoIts inherent in the understanding of what "differential privacy" is. But please listen to her explain it herself, http://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/crowdsourcing-data-while-keeping-yours-private/ http://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/crowdsourcing-data-whi... Basically, its either your statics approach meaninglessness and maintain the individuals privacy or "overly accurate estimates of too many statistics is blatantly non-private"
