Yes, but it is no longer their "motto" (the guiding principle for the company). So, it appearing in the CoC does not mean that it's the guiding principle.

But I think you are raising a good point. Why is this piece of "misinformation" being spread so much? What do you think? I think it is because it corresponds to people's experience with Google: "an entity once liked by the users and did good deeds has quit doing those." So, it may be "misinformation" as you put it, but I don't think it bears no value.

No longer their motto? Can you please provide a source?

"Why is this piece of "misinformation" being spread so much? What do you think?"

Because of multiple articles spreading this misinformation a few years back, for example:

"Google Removes 'Don't Be Evil' Clause From Its Code of Conduct" - https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-do...

Then the article literally mentions at the end that it's still in the code of conduct...terrible reporting from multiple outlets.

What sort of a source do you need? Is Google's current slogan/motto still "Don't be evil"?

You said in your last comment: "Yes, but it is no longer their "motto" (the guiding principle for the company)."

Where exactly did you read that?

What is their current motto, out of curiosity?
