Did you know? Useful statistics can come from devices that deliberately send noisy answers. RAPPOR, published in 2014, randomized reports on the device before collection, letting analysts estimate population patterns while limiting what a report reveals about one person. Its roots were in randomized-response surveys from the 1960s, not a promise to anonymize a database later. Repeated reports need special care: fresh noise alone can be averaged away. #privacy #cypherpunk
