My first amicus brief: Alabama v. Department of Commerce

About a month ago, I filed an amicus brief in Alabama’s lawsuit challenging the use of differential privacy at the Census. The brief was a collaboration by a bunch of data privacy experts from computer science and law. The full list of signatories is below. Particular credit goes to Cynthia Dwork and Deirdre Mulligan. The brief would not have been written without them.

I’ll be writing more about the lawsuit soon. For now, download the brief here.
