Researchers have identified significant limitations in personalized differential privacy budgets, particularly for mean estimation tasks. Their findings indicate that the primary factor for utility is not full personalization but rather selecting an appropriate effective privacy budget through a simple thresholding operator. The study quantifies the limited gains of fully personalized mechanisms compared to this baseline, especially in scenarios involving mixed private and public datasets or varying privacy requirement levels.
