Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you think Google is serious about differential privacy?
Also, I wonder whether the fact that most comments on this thread come from Google (ex-)employees, and not FB's, is saying something...

IMHO, Yes, very much so. There are lots of other initiatives as well (can't find a public link at the moment).

I don't think they are an evil company either, but they were somewhat cavalier with handling PII until recently. This is why I support stronger personal and data privacy laws. It's very easy to mishandle info, even with the best of intentions. Take a look at Zoom, which prioritized ease-of-use over security and privacy. This is another example of why I think people shouldn't worry (first) about FAANG, they should worry about the much smaller players that don't receive nearly as much scrutiny.
