    Can’t fool me, they gave it away when they removed “Don’t be evil” from their motto back in 2015.

      The first time I saw the slogan all I could think is “a normal not-evil person doesn’t need to make such a disclaimer”.

          “Stop spreading this false rumor” and then gets proven wrong by a simple link to Wikipedia found in 5 seconds on google. I’m curious if they own stock in Alphabet, as I wouldn’t give a shit about their internal code of ethics when they don’t seemingly obey them.

          Also “false rumor” is kind of a needless statement. A rumor is false until proven true. Like an “unsolved mystery” is always unsolved, if it was solved, it would not be a mystery.

      They were already evil at that time so honestly it was refreshingly honest when they dropped it

            Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.

            Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don’t_be_evil

              “Don’t be evil” is Google’s former motto, and a phrase used in Google’s corporate code of conduct.

              The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. In April 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[6]

              Please explain how verified facts is false information.

              EDIT: Also, why did you not contest the claim from others who proved you wrong, if they are all wrong?

                They just moved it. It’s still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

                  Yeah they changed from “We can’t do evil” to “If we do evil, that’s on you to report”. That’s exactly the same.
