Once upon a time, Google had unbelievable public trust.
In recent years, though, Google has become actively evil, and squandered that trust to the point that no one really trusts Google anymore, but since we allowed the big tech companies to crush their competition through both acquisitions and illegal trade practices, we have no real viable alternatives, either.
There is no good way out of this mess. This is why the FTC and SEC should never have allowed these companies to accrue this kind of power and control in the first place. Where is Teddy Roosevelt when you need him to bust up some trusts?

Title: Google Removes 'Don't Be Evil' Clause From Its Code of Conduct This is the last paragraph: The updated version of Google’s code of conduct still retains one reference to the company’s unofficial motto—the final line of the document is still: “And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!” I dunno how this FUD still gets shared here.
