Remember when they use to say “Don’t be evil”?
- colordrops 3y agocrazy that they just unashamedly removed it.
- IshKebab 3y agoI doubt their motivation was "now we want to be evil". Probably more like "evil isn't actually well defined and people keep pointing to this and having dumb arguments about it".
- wds 3y agoThankfully, there is an apt definition for evil nowadays: Google.
- colordrops 3y agoThat doesn't sound like a typical corporate thought process. There is plenty of cognitive dissonance around logos and mottos and whatnot by corporations, and unless it affects the bottom line, they won't do anything about it.
- saagarjha 3y agoOk but people still do that.
- account42 3y agoHint: If there are "dumb discussions" about whether what you are doing is evil, it probably is.
- IshKebab 3y agoDo you really think the world is neatly divided into good and evil?
- raxxorraxor 3y agoWhile it can easily be criticised in encouraging black and white patterns, people that have an intellectual problem with the definitions are mostly smartasses and very often actually do "evil" shit, as defined as self-serving to the disadvantages of all others.
