I'm curious where this narrative that Google dropped "don't be evil" comes from.

At the time of the Alphabetization, there was some shuffling of the code of conduct document, but everything lives on.

The Google code of conduct[0] still begins with "Don't be evil."

The Alphabet code of conduct[1] opens with "Employees of Alphabet and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates (“Alphabet”) should do the right thing."

And yet I repeatedly read the claim that Google has secretly abandoned "don't be evil"—presumably on the down low so that they can now do all the evil they want.
