I hear this claimed a lot. They removed it from their motto, but have retained it in their code of conduct, according to Wikipedia[1], and Alphabet has also adopted a similar motto. Whether you want to argue their actions match this, that's up to you, but factually, they did not drop it "from everything forever".

An unenforced code is so useless it is barely worth mentioning except to express total and utter contempt.

In your view, how many times has google engaged in evil conduct with this "code of conduct" having had no say before, during or after the decision to be evil was made? Estimate it.

"Don't be evil" is long, long gone and it's a shame.

i have a strong hunch, dont be evil is an insider doublespeak. it probably means something very different among the upper alphabet echelon
