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.

Googles privacy team?
I'm sure her team is just as busy as Amazons sales prevention team, the Goldman Sachs team for promoting Universal Basic Income and Donald Trumps "Hillary for president" team...

Just a PR stunt. Maybe she thinks she has an important position as a woman in technology, and a privacy team in a company dedicated to violating privacy is a great place to put diversity hires.

Who could criticize Google for privacy violations when they have a whole division that is dedicated to protecting privacy? You are probably a sexist if you do. Once they replace her with a black tranny you'll really be screwed.

Like Nazis having a "Jewish Relations Committee"

Israel, best place to be Jewish, right? I'm a big fan of Israel. But there's only an Israel because of the Nazis. And because of their wall. They were having a total disaster coming across and they had a wall. It’s 99.9% stoppage.

It's a strike force.
Wherever there is privacy, they will strike mecilessly until there is none left.

Someone has to stop Google's competitors from accessing their datasets without paying.

I think not as busy as Trump's Fact Checker team.

I think you're being sarcastic. Maybe, probably, you're being sarcastic. Because everyone knows there was no team. There was just me. I donated very heavily to Crooked Hillary. As a businessman and a VERY SUBSTANTIAL donor to VERY IMPORTANT people, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do. As a businessman, I need that. Hillary Clinton, I said "be at my wedding," and she came to my wedding. She had no choice because I gave to a foundation. And I asked Ivanka (my daughter) to chip in a token amount. $5K or $10K.
They call me a world class businessman. I built a great, great company. I filed my papers and everybody's amazed at how big, how strong, how good it is, how little debt, the cash flow, the quality of the assets, iconic assets and this is what our country needs, they need this thinking. But as a businessman that deals all over the world, you give. I mean this is very standard. You help people from Republicans to Democrats and I think it's very well accepted even within the Republican Party, that's why I'm so popular.
I don't regret it, it's the way it is. When I was a businessman you get to everybody, you're friends with everybody, you get along with everybody and that's the way it is and when you're running for office and not in the world of business and you don't have to go all over the world and you don't need recommendations and other things it's different but when you're a businessman you give to everybody and keep everybody happy, everybody loves them. Maybe it's a good system and maybe it's not a good system but it's the system in which I was under and I thrived. #MAGA [twitter.com]
