How to be evil:

- Offer a service.

- Claim that your service exists to make the world better in some vague way.

- Train yourself to sound like a compassionate, altruistic person that cares about others.

- Sell user data. Hide the information about what data is being sold and who is buying it and why as much as possible.

- Become wealthy selling data from users who trusted you.

- Buy bona-fide companies and put them to the service of your evil cause.

- Normalize evil behavior. Force other companies to become evil in order to compete.

- Turn the Internet into a privacy nightmare.

- Turn the field of computer science into satanism.
