In 2013 Reddit accidentally revealed the most "Reddit Addicted City" was Eglin Air Force Base. A city with a pop of 2.8k getting +100k visits. Neat.
The 2nd most popular city from that list, Oak Brook Il, is the HQ of Elsevier, a data analytics company & DOD subcontractor.
The Research Lab at Eglin AFB was cited in a 2014 paper on how to influence social groups to converge to a "common desired state"
It's been a decade since. How far do you think they've come?
By now the Eglin AFB & other bots ought to know to use VPNs.
