Previous research has established that social media users in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have distinct behaviors that separate them from other regions of the world, e.g., relating to profile pictures, the role of family, and cultural norms. However, the social media privacy behaviors and needs of users in the MENA region are not well understood. To address this knowledge gap, we propose a survey for learning about the MENA users’ privacy attitudes and needs, and data-driven persona creation to communicate these attitudes and needs to stakeholders, such as designers of social media platforms, who can then empathically consider MENA users when developing and designing privacy-oriented features.​
