Link to manuscript : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/..., "Reproducibility of social science research using aggregate statistics with noise infused for differential privacy," Ryan Steed, Eduardo Abraham Schnadower Mustri, and Alessandro Acquisti
Our study estimates key trade-offs that could inform policymakers and data curators designing the next generation of privacy-preserving technologies. 4/
They are smaller than impacts due to typical levels of data error, and smaller than rates of disparity typically observed in replication studies. 3/
We replicated 93 social science studies involving regression analyses of aggregate statistics, and found that, under levels of noise commonly used in industry, the impacts of differential privacy on reproducibility are limited. 2/
We have a new manuscript out in PNAS with Ryan Steed and Eduardo Abraham Schnadower Mustri on the impact of differential privacy on social science research. 1/

Talking about the great work of @ssnstudy here, who demo’ed in 2010 that a commercial face recognition algorithm paired w/a database of Facebook photos could identify 1 out of 3 Carnegie Mellon students IRL. Then Google bought that company & closed its services to outsiders.
