A lot can change in 13 years, but a company that starts off morally evil does not magically get better as time goes on. If anything, they're worse - we just don't have the luxury of knowing exactly how yet.

He didn't say they weren't evil. Only that because they are behind they are trying harder than Google (which is also evil).

All I'm trying to say is that they're not necessarily doing the same thing now that they were back then. They'd have a strong motivator to be better than google nowadays instead of just copying their results because google's results suck now.
