Google allows itself to be evil
 

The search engine outfit Google is allowing its umbrella company Alphabet to be evil – after all alphabets have the potential to be evil.

Alphabet posted a new code of conduct for its employees after Google completed its transformation into a holding company.

Google’s code of conduct was famous for its first line “Don’t be evil” and the act did spawn a lot of comment when the search engine started to behave a “bit evil”. Some of this evil involved cheating the tax system so that it did not have to help pay for health, welfare and education.

Alphabet’s code doesn’t include that phrase. Instead, it says employees of Alphabet and its subsidiaries “should do the right thing – follow the law, act honourably, and treat each other with respect”.
