I just linked you the code of conduct where it is very clearly still present. It was at one time moved from the opening statement to the closing statement, but it has never been removed as you've claimed.
edit: This was in response to the parent's original comment, prior to the edit.
I have seen nearly all versions of our code of conduct in existence (IE there were some prior to me joining, but they all had the "don't be evil part")
It was never removed.
That article is clickbait, and it has been called out as wrong by other articles, repeatedly.
Others have pointed this out.
This is trivial to verify by looking at web history archives, of which there are many.
Rather than accept any of this, you are simply repeating yourself again and again, and citing a debunked clickbait source.
That will not make you any righter, and it will not make your claim any truer.
You've already had one comment now flagged as dead because you won't stop.
It is not interesting or a useful contribution to comments on this story.
Can you please just grow up and move on, and or make some actually substantive comment about the article, rather than continue to derail and detract from the broader discussion?
There is a thing worth discussing here, and this is not it.
That article is specifically called out as being misleading and clickbaity by Search Engine Journal. I don't see what linking it again is adding to the conversation.
>There have been click-baity news reports stating that “Google Removes ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Clause From Its Code of Conduct” but that is not entirely accurate.
>Google has not removed that clause. Google has removed it from the preface, resulting in more attention to the word respect. But it still remains at the end of the document as before.
