Why would we believe the promises of the ones who ruined the primary utility of their core product in the first place, and convinced or blackmailed the rest of the internet to take part in the ruination ? An advertising corporation will tell us to put cyanide on our pizza if it makes them an extra buck this quarter, and google is worse than that. Profit despite the social costs is doing no evil /s
Shit writes itself.
That was removed as their motto in 2015, following a restructuring of Google as a subsidiary of Alphabet.
It actually wasn't, I used to think that as well, but they just moved it to a different section of their Code of Conduct, out of the Preface. Part of the reason so many people think it was removed is because of the countless headlines saying it was removed...
(from the preface)
They did violate federal labor laws by firing 3 employees who brought forth a lawsuit alleging the clause was a contractual obligation, though. So that sucks.
It may be in their code of conduct, but that’s not their motto. As of 2015, their motto is "Do the right thing."
