Who writes these headlines? 80% of the TOR traffic is not-child porn, so only 75% is? Shouldn't the headline mention how much of it is child porn(its close to 1%, from the article).

Usually it's an editor, not the author, who picks headlines. Some sites even A/B test their headlines to see which gets more clicks.
