Whatever final legislation comes out of the negotiations won’t be perfect, and it won’t address every concern. But we urge both businesses and advocates not to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Or of better, more consistent protections for all Americans.

In closing, I’ll say this: Google is an engineering company — and we look at problems from an engineering perspective. When we spot an issue with our services, we make fixing it a priority, and we often move engineers from other projects to help.

I can’t help but assume that whatever legislation Google backs here will not especially “good” and will be intentionally far from “perfect”, but it would be nice to be surprised

It’ll be interesting to see what happens here, if anything
