Formally they never removed "don't be evil" from their code of conduct, although it's now part of the last sentence rather than a standalone sentence at the beg

Formally they never removed "don't be evil" from their code of conduct, although it's now part of the last sentence rather than a standalone sentence at the beginning of the preface as it used to be, and I think it's far more often disregarded by their policymaking levels of leadership than it was in their earlier years. https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/ https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/ Much of the media reporting got this wrong when Google made this change in 2018. They never promised to "do no evil", and that's become increasingly evident over time. Disclosure: I have worked for Google in the past, most recently more than 8 years ago now, but I have never been in any way part of Google's policymaking leadership ranks and am certainly not speaking for them here.
