Google, a company you can trust. A company that thought the phrase ‘Don’t be evil’ didn’t fit anymore.

It's still in their code of conduct, though. Got moved to the bottom.

I remember when they took it off. They probably brought it back because it was giving them a bad image.

[-] Balinares@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago

They never took it off. That was an Internet meme. They just never did.

You're right, I checked here, and they always moved the line. Feels strange to see how our memories can trick us.

[-] shimura@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I remember people saying that too. Then someone on reddit pointed out that they had moved it to the bottom quietly before the whole rexxit thing. Not sure how to interpret it being removed, added back and moved discretely. But as they say in Camp Cretaceous, "at least..." it's in there somewhere.

I looked for more info, and you're right. Strange, because I can remember it clearly. Was I a victim of the mandela effect?

[-] shimura@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, no Mandela effect here. Just businesses being sneaky about appearing honest.

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Ahh ok that makes me feel better

Well yeah, if they were truly going to follow the "don't be evil" motto they'd have to give up capitalism, which ain't gonna happen.
