Sorry if I missed your sarcasm, but wasn't Google's mission "Don't be
evil"? [0]
They so totally failed at that the motto became an embarrassment, so
they fired two leaders of ethics, Margaret Mitchell and Timnit Gebru,
for being too ethical, and then re-branded as Alphabet with a new
mission of "Do the right thing" (ie. make lots of money).
I mean, just this random tidbit:
" 2021, 3 former Google employees filed a lawsuit alleging that
Google's motto "Don't be evil" amounts to a contractual obligation
that the tech giant violated, that Google broke their own moral code
by firing them as retaliation for their efforts against 'evil'... "
