Can’t fool me, they gave it away when they removed “Don’t be evil” from their motto back in 2015.
They were already evil at that time so honestly it was refreshingly honest when they dropped it
Except they didn’t drop it.
And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don’t_be_evil it’s dropped. Telling investors somewhere in the code of conduct is different from being their official motto
Do you own stock in Alphabet or are you a bootlicker for free?
Didn’t realize correcting false information is boot licking.
Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.
You didn’t correct false information. “Don’t be evil” was removed from their motto and you didn’t give any evidence to disprove that.

“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.
Lol, how simplistic do you have to be to believe this means anything? First off, you need to believe in good and evil, which are completely arbitrary. And do you think they thought “hmm, we need to start doing evil things do extract more profit… Change the motto so everybody knows! But then we’ll pretend to not be evil when confronted about this change…”
Maybe being evil would be to not change the motto and start doing evil acts anyway. Simpler answer is that somebody probably thought it was a stupid thing to have on there in the first place, and was likely thought up by a Cheeto stained LOTR neckbeard.
“Good and evil are arbitrary” mfers when I chop off their balls and feed them to their kids because I wanted to:
No they didn’t. Please stop spreading this false rumour.

That’s not their motto
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_evil was specifically removed from their motto in 2015
“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.
That’s not their code of conduct, they are telling YOU not to be evil.
We can and should no longer accept “it’s just good business” as justification for morally reprehensible actions.
It would be pretty funny for a court to actually determine that a “just business” is synonymous with “doing evil”

Slavery was just business at some point, what kind of justification is this?!
But it wasn’t just business. It was also slavery.
An endeavor that’s just business requires all the people involved to be doing business.
You’re not evil, you’re just a cunt 🤷
So companies are people when it’s convenient for them to be so, and ‘just a business’ when it isn’t.
A publicly traded company is legally obligated to be evil.
Are you perhaps referring to the myth that the law requires companies to maximize shareholder profits above all else?
Ok I was ready to disparage your link since the domain ends in .ai, but actually that was a decent read and a pretty good argument. I’m glad to have better knowledge of the actual court rulings.
I didn’t even look at the URL, to be honest; it was the most layman-friendly and succinct article that was from the last few years that popped up in a quick search, but there’s plenty of similar articles from other sources if anyone doubts this one.
