Devising procedures for auditing generative model privacy-utility tradeoff is an important yet unresolved problem in practice. Existing works concentrates on investigating the privacy constraint side effect in terms of utility degradation of the train on synthetic, test on real paradigm of synthetic data training. We push such understanding on privacy-utility tradeoff to next level by observing the privacy deregulation side effect on synthetic training data utility. Surprisingly, we discover the Utility Recovery Incapability of DP-CTGAN and PATE-CTGAN under privacy deregulation, raising concerns on their practical applications. The main message is Privacy Deregulation does NOT always imply Utility Recovery.
