Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off
Companies are looking to data anonymization research $\unicode{x2013}$ including differential private and synthetic data methods $\unicode{x2013}$ for simple and straightforward compliance solutions. But data anonymization has not taken off in practice because it is anything but simple to implement. For one, it requires making complex choices which are case dependent, such as the domain of the dataset to anonymize; the units to protect; the scope where the data protection should extend to; and …

On the $(k,\ell)$-multiset anonymity measure for social graphs
The publication of social graphs must be preceded by a rigorous analysis of privacy threats against social graph users. When the threat comes from inside the social network itself, the threat is called an active attack, and the de-facto privacy measure used to quantify the resistance to such an attack is the $(k,\ell)$-anonymity. The original formulation of $(k,\ell)$-anonymity represents the adversary's knowledge as a vector of distances to the set of attacker nodes. In this article, we argue …

GAMA: A General Anonymizing Multi-Agent System for Privacy Preservation Enhanced by Domain Rules and Disproof Method
With the rapid advancement of Large Language Model (LLM), LLM-based agents exhibit exceptional abilities in understanding and generating natural language, facilitating human-like collaboration and information transmission in LLM-based Multi-Agent System (MAS). High-performance LLMs are often hosted on remote servers in public spaces. When tasks involve privacy data, MAS cannot securely utilize these LLMs without implementing privacy-preserving mechanisms. To address this challenge, we propose a…

South Sudan and Israel
are discussing a deal
to resettle Palestinians
from war-torn Gaza
in the troubled African nation,
three sources told Reuters
- a plan quickly dismissed as unacceptable by Palestinian leaders.
The sources, who have knowledge of the matter but spoke on condition of anonymity,
said no agreement had been reached but talks between South Sudan and Israel were ongoing.
The plan, if carried further,
would envisage pe…

Improving the Speaker Anonymization Evaluation's Robustness to Target Speakers with Adversarial Learning

Improving the Speaker Anonymization Evaluation's Robustness to Target Speakers with Adversarial Learning
The current privacy evaluation for speaker anonymization often overestimates privacy when a same-gender target selection algorithm (TSA) is used, although this TSA leaks the speaker's gender and should hence be more vulnerable. We hypothesize that this occurs because the evaluation does not account for the fact that anonymized speech contains information from both the source and target speakers. To address this, we propose to add a target classifier that measures the influence of target speaker…

Hypothesis: Fediverse users have more capital/financial privileges than on other social media platforms. Let's test it!
How much cash (€) could you realistically make liquid within 1 year? Including selling car, flat, stocks etc. (excluding debts).
Anonymous & honest! (I'm having a discussion with a person from a marketing department...)

Anyone who follows me has probably gathered that I've become a fan of Discourse after running a few Discourse instances. They are currently requesting feedback.
I was pleased to see that they used a survey vendor that appears to have meaningful a11y — I didn't look for aria labels so I won't speak to that, but what I did notice is that there is explicitly-labeled support for keyboard-only interaction on every page, and I really appreciated that thoughtfulness.

Wrote up a nice little macro in @… to illustrate "anonymous recursive functions" Š la PowerShell.

“There’s so many false reports of conversations that never happened, and I’m not going to get into that.”
“But I can tell you, I think that we do what we need to do, we’ll do what we need to do.
And I think the United States knows what is good for the United States,”
Anonymous administration officials had claimed that the Israelis reported they had an opportunity to kill the top Iranian leader, and that Trump waved them off of the plan
