Building systems is clearly a major effort which was specifically excluded from that estimate. However, while you’re right it’s complicated, I would point out my overall estimate was close to Google’s own.

“Since we started using machine learning to flag violent and extremist content in June, the technology has reviewed and flagged content that would have taken 180,000 people working 40 hours a week to assess.”
