Google "It's Okay To Be Evil Now" ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

One old FR reference:

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3639564/posts

Google's 'Don't be evil' code of conduct no longer applies
wnd.com ^ | 3/14/2018 | Patty Ann Malley

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.

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.

“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.

At least they are not saying: “Do the left thing.”

“Don’t be evil...just a regressive, Left wing, America hating, Trump bashing, elitist douchebag.”

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 ““don’t be evil” means to do evil.

Kind of like malware computer code.

LOL at all the stupid liberals that thought Google was going to be the model of the “good company”.

A little misleading:

They did not remove “Don’t be evil”

They just removed “Don’t”.

Our Lord Jesus tells us we are evil:

Luk_11:13  If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

There is no sense in telling people not to be evil when they are.

When Google was reorganized under a new parent company, Alphabet, in 2015, Alphabet assumed a slightly adjusted version of the motto, “do the right thing.”

A MORMON company??


Choose the right

Choose the right
"Choose the right" is a saying or motto among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that is taught to children and used by members of the church as a reminder to make choices that will help an individual to live righteously. The phrase is taken from an LDS hymn Choose the Right.
