In fairness, it seems that they started do a lot more evil when they removed the 'Don't be evil' motto back in 2018. So maybe believe companies that broadcast that they're about to get evil with it?

I never understood that move. If you're evil, you can be evil just fine even when "don't be evil" is your motto.

If you're not, then there's nothing wrong with it.

As an individual sure. As a collective that constantly hires, you want your outward espoused values to be as close to your actual ones as you can get them without causing huge negative PR.

You mean so you don't accidentally hire idealists who won't be on board with your shenanigans?

Yes
