Why this open source app is connecting google?!

I started using KDE connect yesterday on windows and android and i was checking if it is being connected to internet by anymeans and i was shocked that it was connected to google, I discovered that using two apps Rethink DNS for android and TCPView for windows.

My question is why KDE connect is connecting to google??

It’s here, apparently: kdeconnect-android/src/org/kde/kdeconnect/Helpers/DeviceHelper.kt at 067a000b2bd78dee8779a44c1bbd867663c603dd · KDE/kdeconnect-android · GitHub

It’s for an innocent purpose, this is just a device list.

Sorry my fault, My mind thought that 0.0.0.0 is the connection with google while google dns is 8.8.8.8

Oh now it sounds logical but can i deactivate it?
