restructure, the motto was quietly changed to ‘do the right thing’.<br>

Quotes:<br>
<br>
Is Google evil?<br>
Evil is a strong word and the simple fact that they removed this<br>
phrase from their code of conduct and other communications does not<br>
mean that they did so because they now want to be evil.<br>
<br>
However, it is clear that Google has struggled to stay true to its<br>
original motivations, with numerous scandals over the years suggesting<br>
that they prioritise profits over doing good.<br>
