* How FB is evil: They create an addictive, time-wasting service that encourages narcissism, they manipulate people's news feeds and thus their worldviews, and they inadvertently bias important societal decisions.
* How Amazon is evil: They lure people into buying from them, soon you will only be able to buy from them and the damage will be felt; they create addicting home surveillance devices that pretend to be helpful ?
* How Apple is evil: They engineer a basic necessity to break down every 18 months, they introduce progressively more useless "features" into their new products, they rapidly change standards in order to force people to buy stupid connectors, they no longer create amazing products? [Really is this evil?]
* Exactly HOW is Google doing evil now? The only argument I can see is that they collect a lot of information about you which they plan to use later. They still provide a quintessential information service. You can avoid their ads very easily.
