Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) has been awarded a major research grant from Facebook for a new collaborative study examining digital privacy concerns in 21 Middle Eastern and North African (Mena) countries.
QCRI secured one of only five awards for their project titled “Privacy Personas in the Mena Region: A Large-Scale Analysis of 21 Countries” under Facebook’s ‘People’s Expectations and Experiences with Digital Privacy’ research call. The project outcome will be data-driven online personas of user segments based on social media privacy concerns and attitudes.
