Google: don't be --evil--

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well they actually changed the motto because "don't be evil" was too ambiguous. The motto now is "do the right thing". It's now okay to be evil, as long as you're "doing the right thing".

Yeah, of all the things google has done, rewrite "don't be evil" is really not one of them. Didn't their parent company also pick up the motto as well?

"Do evil and hide it for long enough such that people can't do much about it later when they find out about it"? DEAHIFLESTPCDMAILWTFOAI for short?

Use two tildes (~) before and after:

Google: don't be ~~evil~~

Google: don't be ~~evil~~

more like google: ~~dont~~ be evil

I don't know, I kind of like the idea of someone deciding their company motto is to not exist at all.
