* grandpa of Ryan Rob:

The scientists would not disclose where the study was done, only describing the
location as an industrialized nation.

Shouldn't be hard to narrow down.  Which industrialized nations have
no privacy laws?

Privacy laws usually enable such research because the laws are rather
permissive when it comes to sharing supposedly anonymized data for
research purposes.
