- kibibu 7y agoYou're right - but they certainly deemphasised it. Compare to an earlier version where it's the first three words: https://web.archive.org/web/20160202030302/https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160202030302/https://abc.xyz/i... The press at the time ran articles like "Google Removes 'Don't Be Evil' Clause From Its Code Of Conduct" (https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/05/google-removes-dont-be-evil-clause-from-its-code-of-conduct/ https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/05/google-removes-dont-be-ev...), even though they mention keeping that mention at the end.
