The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove. Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001.

Then in early 2018, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract to build AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface.

This is my official post asking for help: .

I'm Ami Angelwings, owner of Escher Girls & the Twitch streamer known as Sith Princess and I need help to fund a much needed surgery to repair an internal rectal prolapse (intussusception) that has destroyed my quality of life. I can barely make it through each day.

I'm getting the surgery on June 13 in Madrid, Spain due to the medical expertise needed & willing to operate being there (I'm a trans girl who's had GRS, many surgeons we've talked to are either scared or not allowed to operate on me, esp in the US).

It'll cost about $60,000CAD, I'm trying to raise half of that.

If you can help donate or boost my GoFundMe it would mean so much to me: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nuw6ac-fund-amis-robotic-mesh-rectopexy-repair-in-madrid-spain

You can share it anywhere or to anybody you want.
