"Don't be evil" is antisemitic

I call this honesty, actually.

Google does many evil things....I despise them right now and do not endorse them.....but just to somewhat play devil's advocate on this....one problem with "don't be evil" in their code of conduct is that there's no real definition of evil.
This wasn't a problem when traditional hackers ruled the industry. Most traditional hackers (mainly huwhite males) that built the industry would focus on things like government and corporate surveillance or blocking the free flow of information as the biggest evils that a company like Google would have the responsibility to oppose.
But if Google is now filled with a real percentage of vocal SJWs, they have a problem with "Don't Be Evil" in the company code of conduct because SJWs define evil in different ways than normal people. To an SJW, for example, ranking a "racist" article filled with "hate facts" high in search rankings might be the ultimate evil, even though it should be ranked high according to an objective algorithm. Or allowing "racist content" on YouTube to might be the ultimate evil. So by their personal definition of evil, they might manipulate the system to prevent "evil" from spreading.
I don't really have a point here other than SJWs ruin everything and must be gassed. Just kidding: helicopters are a fine solution too.

And just like that they became slightly more honest which is a huge fucking surprise.

The motto was dropped awhile ago but retained in the code of conduct.now its being removed there too.
