I have been at Google 17 years.

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.

The first version that appeared on abc.xyz in 2018 has don't be evil in it (https://web.archive.org/web/20181202062954/https://abc.xyz/i...). The previous versions on google.com have don't be evil in them.

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.
