Differential Privacy & Federated Learning
A Visual Journey Through Differential Privacy
An eight-act interactive explainer that traces the evolution of privacy-enhancing technology — from Latanya Sweeney's 1997 re-identification attack on Governor Weld, through the failure of k-anonymity, to the 2006 differential privacy revolution and its ethical costs. Four live interactive elements let you watch a linkage attack succeed, generalize a dataset under k-anonymity, manipulate the epsilon dial, and see minority communities vanish under heavy noise.
