Honestly, this is about what I expect from Google nowadays. It’s surprising when they manage to live up to the “Don’t be Evil” motto they used to have.

There’s a reason they got rid of that motto.
They never got rid of it though. I don’t understand why people keep repeating this. See the final paragraph here: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/
They removed it from the main body as like, an organizing principle. and left it in only one sentence at the end. https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-dont-be-evil-from-1826153393

They might as well have though 🙃

It helps that the rain has gone
