N2 - Despite several disputes and the overall perceived lack of privacy on social media platforms among the general population, they are now widely used around the globe and have become commonplace. Vast volumes of data in various formats are being posted on these platforms. Over the past decade, the widespread adoption and proliferation of online medical forums and social platforms illustrates the variety of information being shared. Usually, when dealing with sensitive medical information, to ensure that all ethical and legal criteria are met, processing and maintaining calls for a high quality of security and privacy safeguards. We were curious if medical information on such socially available platforms goes through the same quality of privacy safeguards. Our literature study identified a significant lapse in the privacy attitude of users who post medical information online. In this paper, we report on the responses from our survey about how medical information and its privacy on social media is perceived. We look at the drivers and impediments to personal health information being shared online, focusing on privacy-related issues. We then use our findings to aid in developing a workflow for a tool that provides access to a general social media user with state-of-the-art anonymizing and privacy-protecting techniques.
