Scaling up differential privacy: lessons from the US Census
by John from John D. Cook on (#4B2H7)
The paper Issues Encountered Deploying Differential Privacy describes some of the difficulties the US Census Bureau has run into while deploying differential privacy for the 2020 census. It's not surprising that they would have difficulties. It's surprising that they would even consider applying differential privacy on such an enormous scale.
If your data project is smaller than the US Census, you can probably make differential privacy work.
