There's a reason they got rid of that motto.

[-] dan@upvote.au 9 points 11 months ago

They never got rid of it though. I don't understand why people keep repeating this. See the final paragraph here: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

They might as well have though 🙃

don't be evil and if you see something, speak up

Oh really Google?

It's double speak. The translation is "We are evil and if you say something about what you see, we will silence you.".

[-] Luke_Fartnocker@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Wait, that's the government's stance also.

[-] Jummit@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

Are you beginning to see things more clearly now?

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 11 months ago

It helps that the rain has gone

[-] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago

Depends on your definition of "evil", I guess.

[-] Quexotic@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Lol, right? Bit of a slippery slope over at the ol search and advertising factory.

They removed it from the main body as like, an organizing principle. and left it in only one sentence at the end. https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-dont-be-evil-from-1826153393

[-] dan@upvote.au 2 points 11 months ago

Sure, that's different to totally removing it though.

[-] Luke_Fartnocker@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I heard several news stories stating that they had, but I guess that's my fault for believing the news. I just assumed they would get something right eventually.
