Google is one of these US tech companies claiming they have moral values in their code of conduct, using such words as "evil".

It meant "don't become Microsoft." HNers keep bringing it up as if they didn't live through the late 90s. Am I old now?

And it worked. Sadly, there are many more evils in the world than becoming Microsoft.

That's incorrect, it's still in the code of conduct. It's the last statement: https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html

Just another example of why codes of conduct are fuzzy hypocritical bullshit.

If you want to actually change something, create clearly defined, actionable rules, specify scope and follow them 100% of the time. Like "we do not log any information except X and Y".
