> Google says “Don’t do evil” on one hand.

They stopped saying that, so past tense should be used when mentioning it.

The informal Google motto has always been "Don't be evil.". Volumes could be written about the fine distinction between "Don't be evil." and the phrases it's often confused for, "Don't do evil." or "Do no evil.".

So they didn't actually mean what they said?

They did, but only for a while, until it became too inconvenient for their company goals.
