That's an anecdotal account, not a factual history. Besides, I can use it to make my point, e.g.:
"our competitors, who at the time, in our opinion, were kind of exploiting the users"
So, they are fully aware that they're entering an industry where exploiting the users is a common temptation. Like I said, this provides motivation for a slogan referring to that.
"Amit started writing it down all over the building, on whiteboards everywhere."
Imagine literally going around plastering "Don't be evil" all over your colleagues' working spaces: I'm not sure that would be accepted as inoffensive in most work places... IMHO that would normally be a very strong action showing you think your colleagues ought to be reminded.
