One old FR reference:

Google's 'Don't be evil' code of conduct no longer applies

But that one isn't about any official change in the motto; it was still "Don't Be Evil" when that thread was posted.

Good and evil are relative terms to the morally confused.
To: dayglored
I don’t know why, but this does strike me as funny...
I dislike Google intensely, though I must use it and the Google apps for work, so the “Don’t be Evil” thing contains a significant amount of irony for me.

“Evil” in Silicon Valley would start with wearing a MAGA hat.

Do the right thing, depends on "right." Who determines that? What if your "right" is different from my "right." Does that make me "evil." Does that mean you can attack me as if I am Hitler? Oh, you're doing that already.

Some truth to that, although admission of evil is a bit of a conundrum. It’s too Christian. Remember, those terrorists are not evil—they just need a job.

Like as “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” which is even uncritically espoused by atheists, “don’t be evil” presupposes as foundational moral standard that establishes just what is evil vs. good, (and thus what one should have others do unto them).
“These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth....Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.” (Deuteronomy 12:1,8)
Insomuch as when men call evil good, and good, evil (as defined by Scripture), then “dont be evil means to do evil.
Kind of like malware computer code.

Good and evil are relative terms to the morally confused. I think, to Googoe, dont be evil, means, dont be a patriotic American, Trump supporter.

A little misleading:
They did not remove “Don’t be evil”
They just removed “Don’t”.
