Wenn Seriennummern von Scheinen mit Zeit und Ort der Erfassung gespeichert und diese Daten verstärkt gesammelt werden, geht die Anonymität des Bargelds flöten.

Human-Centered Interactive Anonymization for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning: A Case for Human-Guided k-Anonymity
Privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) seeks to balance data utility and privacy, especially as regulations like the GDPR mandate the anonymization of personal data for ML applications. Conventional anonymization approaches often reduce data utility due to indiscriminate generalization or suppression of data attributes. In this study, we propose an interactive approach that incorporates human input into the k-anonymization process, enabling domain experts to guide attribute preservation based…

But I only know roughly what city he's in and his first name. He's in my phone as [first name] [irc handle].
Example 2: Catgirl I've known for a couple of years, she's been to my house, I've been to…

An diesem Punkt, Hilfe zu suchen und annehmen zu können, kommt die Männlichkeit ins Spiel. Sie ist ein Menschenfeind und wir müssen darüber reden - und genau das wird jetzt mal wieder nicht passieren.
