Even with the horrible news, we are still attending #pepr22. Next up, we'll be livetweeting a very timely talk, "How Developers (Don't) Think about Gender Privacy", by Elijah Bouma-Sims.
The speaker has given some background on gender markers in software. They're now going over an example of a workplace software tool from Germany which chose the user's profile picture based on their answer to a gender question, without warning it would...
... the "female" picture was also the "diverse" one, which is questionable at best. Furthermore, it outed people because it broke their expectations about how visible the gender field would be to others.
Okay! #pepr22 is about to come back from lunch. We all just had the "birds of a feather" breakout sessions, which were a ton of fun.
This next block of talks is on consent.

Okay! Today and tomorrow we will once again be live-tweeting #PEPR22, the Usenix conference on Privacy Engineering Practice and Respect.
For timing reasons we didn't get to see the first session. The second one, "Expanding Differentially Private Solutions: A Python Case Study" is now ongoing.
The presenter is Vadym Doroshenko, affiliated with Google. They don't seem to have said explicitly, but this does sound like it's describing work that was done at Google (we're only basing that on the slides).
