Apple Safari browser sends some user IP addresses to Chinese conglomerate Tencent by default

During the last week, the reality that US companies often bend the knee to China has been thrown into the spotlight. Apple, one of the biggest US tech companies, has appeased China by hiding the Taiwan flag emoji and ignoring US lawmakers when choosing to ban a Hong Kong protest safety app. Now it's been discovered that Apple, which often positions itself as a champion of privacy and human rights, is sending some IP addresses from users of its Safari browser on iOS to Chinese conglomerate Tencent - a company with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Apple admits that it sends some user IP addresses to Tencent in the "About Safari & Privacy" section of its Safari settings which can be accessed on an iOS device by opening the Settings app and then selecting "Safari > About Privacy & Security." I'm sure the genocidal totalitarian surveillance state that is China won't be abuse this information at all. They pinky-promised to Tim Cook, who was busy telling his company not to make any TV shows critical of China - in line with the rest of Hollywood.
