“…Finally, our analysis is strongly contextualised within Arab culture. In this, we follow recent calls for HCI that acknowledges and incorporates cultural differences [7,40]. The cultural knowledge contributed by the Arab authors of this paper allows us to characterise the position of prominent figures in the community, interpret the tweets within the discourse conventions of the Arab world, and acknowledge the varied strands of thought that are often not seen from a Western perspective which focuses on conflict and radical Islam.…”

In this study, we investigate the extent of polarisation among theist versus atheist groups on Arab Twitter and their networks. We find four main self-identified groups of Arab users that can be distinguished by different attitudes to religion. In addition to Atheists and Theists, there are Rationalists, who promote rational thinking regardless of religious affiliation, and Tanweeri, who promote religious reforms. Through a keyword search of Twitter account handles and biographies, we identified 2,673 active, public Twitter accounts that clearly state whether they are Atheists, Theists, Tanweeri or Rationalists and analysed the interactions among themselves and the accounts that are followed, retweeted, or mentioned the most in their networks. Depending on the network analysed, we found between four and seven sub-communities that highlight the rich socio-cultural context in which discussions of religion, non-religion, and religious reform unfold. While there was clear online polarisation between atheists and theists, Rationalist and Tanweeri accounts are spread among the two polarised sides, acting as natural bridges. We also found a clear separation between Arab atheists who engage with Arab accounts promoting atheism and those who primarily engage with Western accounts promoting atheism. We discuss implications for the study of religious debate and religious polarisation on social media. CCS Concepts: • Social and professional topics → Religious orientation; Cultural characteristics; • Human-centered computing → Social networks; Social media; Social network analysis.

“…These observations have implications impacting our co-design work across low-income communities, especially when considering methodologies that aim to lessen power imbalances and instill equality in research activities. This can be very difficult to do in settings as experienced by Mustafa et al in Pakistan and Bangladesh [39,40] and is relevant in this context, where cultural practices such as hlonipha are at play. Female participants will always be disadvantaged in these settings and limited in their responses if the existing dynamics persist during their life time.…”

“…Mustafa et al [79] argued that understanding Muslim identity is particularly of great importance as, according to the Pew research centre [67]: "Islam is currently the world's second-largest religion (after Christianity)", which makes it imperative for the HCI community to consider privacy concerns of Muslim populations with smart technologies. Norwawi et al [82] argued that the human rights recognized in modern constitutions, charters and international treaties are embedded in the religion of Islam, as respect for life, privacy, freedom, equality, property and religious belief are an essential features of Islam.…”

Smart homes continue to raise concerns about privacy and encroachment of businesses into intimate spaces. Prior research has focused on families and device owners in western contexts (Europe and North America), and has identified the importance of bystanders: individuals who are subjected to smart device use of others. Given the cultural and contextual aspects of accommodating bystanders, we identify a gap where bystanders in non-western societies have been insufficiently researched.To address this we conduct 20 interviews with domestic workers and household employers in Jordan, exploring privacy attitudes and practices. Our analysis uncovers a complex interplay between religious and social norms; legal and regulatory perspectives on privacy; and tensions between households and their domestic workers. We explore issues arising from smart homes coexisting as a residence and workplace, and highlight how workplace protections are ill-suited. We structure our findings to help inform public awareness, policy makers, manufacturers, and future research. CCS CONCEPTS• Security and privacy → Usability in security and privacy; Human and societal aspects of security and privacy.
