Except they didn't drop it.

And remember... don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil it's dropped. Telling investors somewhere in the code of conduct is different from being their official motto

Do you own stock in Alphabet or are you a bootlicker for free?

[–] Polar 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Didn't realize correcting false information is boot licking.

Enjoy living in your own reality where you tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

You didn't correct false information. "Don't be evil" was removed from their motto and you didn't give any evidence to disprove that.

"Don't be evil" is Google's former motto, and a phrase used in Google's corporate code of conduct.

The original motto was retained in Google's code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. In April 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct's preface and retained in its last sentence.[6]

Please explain how verified facts is false information.

EDIT: Also, why did you not contest the claim from others who proved you wrong, if they are all wrong?

They just moved it. It's still in place. Thanks for proving me right.

Yeah they changed from "We can't do evil" to "If we do evil, that's on you to report". That's exactly the same.
