[quote:Anonymous Coward 11510365:MV80NTIyMTcwXzgyNDA0MDc3X0VGRUUzQTIz] So nobody cares that every time you use Google you're handing over a super long identifier code that could be telling everyone your exact GPS location, your full name and address, your phone number, your mother's maiden name, your social security #, how many guns you own, how you voted in the last election, whether or not you're on a watch list, what kind of porn you watch, your last 3 online purchases, etc....? That string of coded data in every url of every Google search likely contains VERY personal info about you, but we'll never know exactly what info it conveys because nobody gives a fuck bout privacy anymore, even on a conspiracy website full of supposedly "woke" people who claim to be aware of the dangers we face. You people are nothing more than brainwashed sheep if you can't even bother to look into all the data you're voluntary giving to the richest companies in the world who then sell it to govts and people wanting to sell you things.

I can't find anything but silence regarding this anywhere, so I wanted to reach out for help here. Urls, especially those generated when using Google Search, have certain operators and parameters that are used to secretly convey a large amount of data about those who are searching. But nobody seems to know what psy-ab and gs_lcp do. gs_lcp is fairly new and contains a HUGE alphanumeric string that appears to be base-64, but attempts to decode these strings have been unfruitful.
I have a bad feeling about this though, and feel like this is something we should NOT ignore. I think it's important we start paying more attention about how much personal data we are sharing without even knowing it.
