So how will you ensure your service is only used for "good"?

Same way the cooking-knives company ensures those are only used for cooking.
no services remain "good" so why ask the question. it gets ignored or answered but then a decade or two down the line the philosophy gets scrapped, a story as old as time.
I still don't understand why Google publicly removed "Do No Evil" from their company. It's one thing to not follow it but to actively remove it feels weird. Like they wanted to say "HEY Y'ALL GET READY FOR EVIL!"
You can go to https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/ and ctrl+f "evil", and you'll see it's still there.
Interesting I remember a bunch of articles and stuff talking about them removing the do no evil bit. Guess I didn't do enough research. Appreciate the correction!
Can confirm this Google document contains the word "evil."
