      There’s a reason that doesn’t appear on their site or in their docs any more. It was a canary clause.

      I feel like there’s scales of evil here Google starts to need to highlight on a whiteboard

      Actually, their slogan was “Don’t be evil.” But they revised it recently by adding a comma after the first word.

      Not anymore: they ditched it for “do the right thing (for my wallet)” a couple years back

      I mean… “evil” is arbitrary, right?

        Not arbitrary enough that they thought they could keep saying it. They ditched that about a decade ago.

        “It’s evil not to make as much money as possible”, Google founders. C-suite and board, probably.

      Any organisation that needs to remind themselves not to be evil is already intrinsically evil.
