to use Google’s Safe Browsing server-side [...] users must provide Google with more ~~security-related~~ data

Should be illegal, to propagate the opposite of what is true. Of course, if your company and all related are the good guys and everyone else the bad guys, then, only then, this headline makes sense. A bit of a hero complex, selling people privacy infringement, as protection. I can't even blame the average consumer for believing that, as it's such so perverted construct and this shilled trash article sells it as positive.

Hey it's opt-in, I'm sure Google will not pressure people with pop-ups and fake news, like this one, to enable this setting.
