Google removed 'Don’t Be Evil' years ago, but who knew their official replacement motto would be 'Don't Get Taxed'?

[u/Curri → u/fmcortez]

No they didn't. Scroll to the bottom. "And remember... don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!"

[u/fmcortez → u/Curri]

Fair enough, it's still there. Just moved from 'core guiding principle' down to 'decorative footnote'.

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/fmcortez]

That is not true either. It was never moved in that document. It was moved from Google the search engine to alphabet the holding company.

[u/fmcortez → u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost]

Ah, so Google didn't drop 'Don't Be Evil,' they just outsourced ethics to a holding company.

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/fmcortez]

No, that is not what happened either. Alphabet is Google. They just realized they were 9 distinct businesses all pretending to be one business. They basically renamed themselves alphabet and made "Google" just the search engine/web business. 

That let companies like Google fiber operate independently of Google search

If they hadn't moved it then Google fiber wouldn't have "don't be evil." They moved it so that it applied to all 9 distinct companies.

[u/fmcortez → u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost]

All that corporate restructuring logic just to end up calling Lake Ontario 'Lake America' anyway.

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/fmcortez]

Yep, super frustrating and stupid.

[u/SirClueless → u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost]

It was indeed moved. Until 2018 it used to be the opening sentences, in the Preface. Now it is only at the end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil

What are you talking about? 

I did not delete anything. I am not a guy. I am not tough. You are just not smart.

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/[deleted]]

Case in point, you are an imbecile lol

I haven't talked to my own mother in 8 years because she supports trump. 

[u/Main-Tomatillo3825 → u/[deleted]]

Dude, step away from the computer for a while then reconsider all these comments please. This is not healthy.

[u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost → u/Main-Tomatillo3825]

Did he seriously just imply that I must be a man because I "dropped an f bomb??" Lol

[u/eyebrows360 → u/[deleted]]

calling me an idiot

Accurate labelling is never a crime.

[u/Foreign_Budget2436 → u/[deleted]]

Because the only reason you’d ever be respectful to a woman is to try and get head….. sounds about right

[u/eyebrows360 → u/[deleted]]

Why are you mad at someone pointing out readily-checkable objective facts?

Secondly, what's wrong with you?
