As the definition implies, $\mathcal{M}$ achieves stronger privacy protection for lower values of $\varepsilon$ since the probabilities of $D$ and $D'$ being true worlds are similar, but the utility of $\pmb{o}$ is reduced since more randomness is introduced by $\mathcal{M}$.

The privacy budget $\varepsilon$ is usually set to $0.01$, $0.1$, or, in some cases, $\ln2$ or $\ln3$~\cite{lee2011much}. The privacy budget $\varepsilon$ is usually set to $0.01$, $0.1$, or, in some cases, $\ln2$ or $\ln3$~\cite{lee2011much}.
