say Google's recent moves belie search giant's motto". Lawsuit On 29 November 2021, former Google employees filed a lawsuit claiming that Google broke their own moral code by firing them as retaliation for their part in drawing attention to and organizing employees against “controversial projects” which were “doing evil”. The employees felt that they were acting in alignment with the Code of Conduct; "since Google's contract tells employees that they can be fired for failing to abide by the motto, 'don't be evil'”, the motto “amounts to a contractual obligation that the tech giant has violated.” See also Censorship by Google Criticism of Google Ethical code Evil corporation Friendly artificial intelligence Googlization List of mottos Surveillance capitalism References External links Google Code of Conduct Alphabet Investor Relations 2000 neologisms Business ethics Google Mottos Slogans Good and evil sv:Google#Affärskultur
