Lea Kissner is back at her alma mater, the University of California at Berkeley, armed with a crisp gray blazer, a slide deck, and a laptop with a 'My Other Car Is A Pynchon Novel' sticker on it. Since graduating in 2002, she's earned a PhD at Carnegie Mellon in cryptography and worked her way up at Google, where she manages user privacy and tries to keep things from breaking. She's here to tell a hall of computer science students how she did it—and also how to create privacy-protective systems at a scale that you won't find outside a handful of massive tech companies.

Ever heard of DoubleClick AdSense or AdMob? Google sells you to the highest bidder, they just have the auction house in house and doesn't sell you to outside ad firms because they bought all of the big ones they could get their paws on and won't help any of the remaining small ones get big by sharing their trove of user data.

I think he mentioned this but that your data set is anonymous. Lacks a name to refer.
