You are hereGoogle humor: "human review trumps technology" in filtering for copyright

I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing when listening to Google-YouTube's product counsel, Mia Garlick, speak on the Internet Caucus panel on "Internet Copyright Filters: Finding the Balance."
Let that little quote sink in for a moment. Google...
If human review of content trumps technology, why doesn't Google rank/filter all the world's content in its search process with human review rather than technology -- if human review is better?
Of course not. This is just one more of Google's long line of double standards, where it promotes one set of more onerous rules or approaches for others, while insisting those same rules should not apply to Google.
Why Google supports human review of copyright infringement rather than technology is that Google has no desire for review of copyrght infringement to be efficient because Google's business model depends in part in getting away with systematic copyright infringement. "Human review trumps technology"... give me a break...
