Kinda pointless that they're hashing the urls, as to tell if that url was malicious google/tencent would have had to generate that hash themselves as well. The associations are already there, so the hashing step adds nothing (except to prevent a MITM attack where the bad actor didn't have a lookup table).

If Apple wants to create a privacy-oriented safe browsing experience, they need to ship that dataset with the phones themselves.
