I agree with you; however, that's kind of the point. Google has the power to organize and control a significant amount of information. These statements are very different:

- Google doesn't censor anything

- Google censors things that a lot of people agree are offensive

The 2nd gets into tricky territory, because not everyone agrees on what is/is not offensive. I happen to think that most of the things they remove are probably good to remove. But the implication is still that Google wields (and at times uses) enormous power.

Things get even more grey (and potentially problematic) when you get into ranking algorithms, which have the power to sway opinions on major topics/events.

And as you mentioned, my parent comment is also a response to the very direct (and incorrect) claim:

> It seems that they do [control information], but they don't.
