    They never got rid of it though. I don’t understand why people keep repeating this. See the final paragraph here: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/

          It’s double speak. The translation is “We are evil and if you say something about what you see, we will silence you.”.

          Depends on your definition of “evil”, I guess.

      They removed it from the main body as like, an organizing principle. and left it in only one sentence at the end. https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-dont-be-evil-from-1826153393

        Sure, that’s different to totally removing it though.

      I heard several news stories stating that they had, but I guess that’s my fault for believing the news. I just assumed they would get something right eventually.
