Again I feel like I'm reaching out to be educated here.. but if Safari is attempting to validate URLs for safe browsing using the Google API (which it states it will do, quite openly), and Google products is quite clearly blocked in China so it resorts to Tencents API (which it states it will do, quite openly).. why does this seem to provoke anger?

I mean this in the most equitable way possible, I'm more trying to understand where Apple has done anything wrong here?

We can’t tell whether non-China data goes to Tencent—intentionally or by some bug or adversarial problem.

The code [1] along, with this explanation [2] does seem to show that it only happens for devices with the country code set to CN.
