• Title: Equity and Privacy: More Than Just a Tradeoff
• Authors: David Pujol, Ashwin Machanavajjhala
• Abstract summary: Recent work has shown that privacy preserving data publishing can introduce different levels of utility across different population groups. Will marginal populations see disproportionately less utility from privacy technology? If there is an inequity how can we address it?

• Abstract: While the entire field of privacy preserving data analytics is focused on the privacy-utility tradeoff, recent work has shown that privacy preserving data publishing can introduce different levels of utility across different population groups. It is important to understand this new tradeoff between privacy and equity as privacy technology is being deployed in situations where the data products will be used for research and policy making. Will marginal populations see disproportionately less utility from privacy technology? If there is an inequity how can we address it?

  In practice, controlled data access remains a mainstream method for protecting data privacy in many industrial and research environments. We developed the demo prototype FT-PrivacyScore to show that it's possible to efficiently and quantitatively estimate the privacy risk of participating in a model fine-tuning task.

  Data with privacy concerns comes with stringent regulations that frequently prohibited data access and data sharing. Overcoming these obstacles is key for technological progress in many real-world application scenarios that involve privacy sensitive data. Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

  We question whether the use of large Web-scraped datasets should be viewed as differential-privacy-preserving. We caution that publicizing these models pretrained on Web data as "private" could lead to harm and erode the public's trust in differential privacy as a meaningful definition of privacy. We conclude by discussing potential paths forward for the field of private learning, as public pretraining becomes more popular and powerful.

  We consider partial differential privacy (DP), which allows quantifying the privacy guarantee on a per-attribute basis. In this work, we study several basic data analysis and learning tasks, and design algorithms whose per-attribute privacy parameter is smaller that the best possible privacy parameter for the entire record of a person.

  We show an Onion Effect of memorization: removing the "layer" of outlier points that are most vulnerable exposes a new layer of previously-safe points to the same attack. It suggests that privacy-enhancing technologies such as machine unlearning could actually harm the privacy of other users.

  We find that perception of privacy empowerment differs from that of sharing across dimensions of meaningfulness, competence and choice. We find similarities and differences in privacy method preference between the US, UK and Germany. By mapping the perception of privacy dis-empowerment into patterns of privacy behavior online, this paper provides an important foundation for future research.
