What happens if it is a hit against the bloom filter / checksum? Would it transmit the URL so that it can be blocklisted?

TL;DR is you download a chunk of SHA-256 hashes and check if the hash for your URL is there. There is of course the chance of collision but that is minuscule.
Oh I know that's how that works, I meant, does Google transmit back the URLs once it does get a hit, to protect others from downloading that file?
Why would it need to do that? To protect others from the same url, the same hash checking method should work.
