I've been working in the privacy space for ~4 years now and have worked across, homomorphic encryption, Federated Learning and finetuning.
I've also run multiple user studies on privacy during my time doing a master's in privacy at CMU.
almost 10/10 times users will choose, easy to use and accessible over complex and more control over their data.
In fact, for one of the Mag7 we proved that, users only want to have the feeling of safety and don't really care what gets done with the data.
very unfortunate, but this is the world we live in.
