Privacy, Data and the Individual. Diferentially Data sets : formal vs empirical approaches to data anonymity

The focus of data anonymity research by computer scientists is almost completely on methods with formal guarantees of anonymity, especially differential privacy. The usefulness of mechanisms with formal guarantees, however, has so far been disappointing. This article argues that computer scientists...
