> "Don't be evil". ...has been dropped as the company motto of Google -I wonder why?

  That's my point. Virtue signalers are deep down, evil.

    How do you distinguish between an evil virtue signaler and a virtuous person?

      > How do you distinguish between an evil virtue signaler and a virtuous person? The latter do good things silently instead of showing off about it.

        Got it -- true virtue requires not encouraging others to be virtuous. So what are you doing?

  That's not a good motto though, it isn't the mission of Google and if you think about it, not being evil is pretty trivial.

    > not being evil is pretty trivial. Bullocks. For the average joe, perhaps. For a multinational company that annihilates privacy to create ads designed to alter consumer behavior -- that's pretty hard line to walk. The very nature of targeted ads, by itself, is pretty sketchy. That is not a justification for bad behavior, just of the reality of the situation; "they don't think it be like it is, but it do".

      Targeted ads are not evil. Hitler is evil.
