Everyone seems to be quite concerned about the notion that the servers are located in China (which does not appear to be accurate for dict.youdao.com when accessed from, for instance, Europe). This perspective sounds overly alarmist and misses the main issue – I believe that the default behavior is unacceptable regardless of who operates the server and its location.
