Are we forgetting that they're getting more evil, not less?

They just removed ManifestV2.

Yea we’re in Silicon Valley’s Lex Luthor era. World Coin is just really next level though compared to most Google things. Sama has kinda always been going for the Lex Luthor vibe.

Growing up in a Southern Baptist household where televangelists preached the end of the world every day at 4 PM, World Coin has some serious Antichrist and Revelation vibes. I'll give you that point.

If you think manifest v2 is related to being more evil you have to rethink your sense of ethics. Companies of that size regularly engage in business that results in the deaths of many innocent people. Overall Google does quite well by many metrics compared to its peers.
