sloanlance / Depersonalize JSON.md
Last active August 15, 2020 22:24
jq: Depersonalize JSON – http://bit.ly/Depersonalize_JSON

Depersonalize JSON

Why

If JSON data is to be shared for analysis, it's often necessary to depersonalize the data first. Depersonalization is different than anonymization. If data is anonymized, all information about the user is removed. Depersonalization, however, changes the user information to values that can't be recognized as being related to the real user. This way, it's still possible to see relationships within the data.

250ms of silence in an MP3 file. This makes an excellent ringtone for a contact on phones that can't block specific callers. (Thanks for nothing, TracFone!)
