The feature only sends the URL if its not in a known whitelist. But yes, unless you download very popular stuff, sending all your URLs to Google is exactly what it does.
- jsavimbi 15y agoWhich is a feature I do not remember requesting from Google. Why opt out instead of opt in is anyone's guess.
- jonknee 15y agoMaybe because the people who need it most are the least likely to find it and opt-in?
- jsavimbi 15y agoTo make the assumption that people actually need a private business entity, Google, to censor the internet for them is ludicrous.
- mistercow 15y agoThere's no censorship here. They analyze the file and tell you if they think it's malicious. You are free to do with that information as you will.
