One day, Rubin noticed a strange thing by looking at the URL sent from a friend. The URL indicated Google's search results, but the URL included words that are not related to the page actually displayed.

そのURLは「https://www.google.com/search?q=first+search&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=second+search」という形で、「second+search」に実際に表示される検索結果のもととなったワード、「first+search」にその直前に検索されたワードが入っていたとのこと。


A URL like the above is generated when (1) opening Google Chrome or Firefox (2) the first search is done from the search bar and the second search is done from the search page.

この仕組みを知らないユーザーは「自分の個人的な情報を第三者に渡してしまう可能性も考えられる」とRubinさん。実際に、Rubinさんの友人が送ってきたURLは「https://www.google.com/search?q=penis+enlarger&oq=penis+&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i65j69i57j0l3.998j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8#q=hamlet+the+play」というものだったため、検索ワードについて指摘された友人は非常に当惑していたそうです。

Rubin says, "After studying the situation of the body where you go to the library and talk to people and leave a novel, I assume that I borrowed a novel and tell a friend," That novel was wonderful, "that friend said at the library If you were able to know not only the novels but also the things that you examined about the state of the body when you went to? The library in the 48 states of the United States is obliged by the law to keep privacy about the user's reading records However, it can be said that Google's URL like the above violates the user's privacy. "

Keep in mind that 'URL is safe to share', but keep in mind that it will be reflected in the URL just copied and pasted in action in the real world, double check if you share the URL with someone It seems necessary to do.
