>"Yet, a little more than a week later, Google CEO Sundar Pichai attempted to invoke an engineering defense by arguing that Google would not need to censor 'well over 99 percent' of queries."
This is one of those egregious misuses of statistics that really gets to me: while Sundar's point might be valid, not all queries deserve equal weight. To the author's point, equating "human rights" to "pictures of kittens" is not a fair way to frame the problem.
