I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

They used to have a motto like "Do no evil", which was kinda sus to begin with (they were a search engine in a time when many didn't even consider the evil possibilities of the internet). But if you start out with a motto like that, it's even more sus if you suddenly drop it, which they did.

    Usually when a company loudly proclaims that "we have this quality" they're compensating for not in fact having it.

    You get the same in people: "I'm so smart", "I'm so beautiful", "I'm so confident" and so on are usually said to others by people who don't actually believe they have such (otherwise self-evident) qualities.

    In that logic "Do no Evil" was a red flag.
