Google Removes 'Don't Be Evil' Clause From Its Code of Conduct

quote [ Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase “don’t be evil.” But that’s over, according to the code of conduct that Google distributes to its employees. The phrase was removed sometime in late April or early May, archives hosted by the Wayback Machine show. ]

"Don't be evil" was the equivalent of an online dating profile that said, "I have a great sense of humor", or "I hate drama".

I thought of it as the equivalent of "Fair and Balanced"

That’s probably the only moral thing they’ve done it years and it was probably a legal move.

I guess that if it were easy, everybody would not be evil.

Honestly, I’m no small part they’ve been doing this by hiring contractors that do the evil for them.
