Very strange when they dropped the slogan, like being honest about being evil got them brownie points.
I thought it was strange too, until I realized - I think the slogan change was a deliberate message to court a specific type of investor/customer: Epstein’s billionaire pedophile friends.
They didn’t though, despite countless articles claiming so. The only change was moving it from the foreword of their Code of Conduct to the closing statement. Sure, you can argue all day if the foreword or closing statement is “more impactful”, but it was never removed.

“Yeah, we’re evil, but we told you, so if we screw you over, that’s on you. You were warned.”

To be clear, Google is an evil company who never abided by that slogan. But it’s just plain untrue that they removed it.
Remember when they changed it to “Do the right thing”?

Little did we know it was the right thing for shareholders and no one else.
“Make the right choice”
I thought everyone perceived it as that when they changed it…
They never dropped the slogan, it’s literally still in there, it’s just a fucking byline now.
