Alphabet removed "Don't be evil" from their code of conduct and then... Kill-bots, military AI, Chinese search engine with built in censoring and key-logging... Why not this, too?

They've cancelled many of these after backlash, but not all of them.

“Cancelled”

I don’t believe for a minute that they won’t be renamed and developed by some people they’ve now identified as not giving a shit.

I doubt it somehow. At least near to mid-term, if it would get out, the reputation damage with the public and much worse the employees would probably be a lot higher than the gains. Alphabet needs to be the most attractive place to work for. Or at least close to it. They live and die by that.
