Google removed its famous “don't be evil” motto

Don't let anyone find out that you're evil.

Or at least that's what I assume from this article from the Intercept.

It turns out, there's a tratorious Google employee who still hasn't

gotten the hang of being evil but hiding it per company policy.

Because that employee revealed Google's top secret project:

making a censored Android app for China that uses their search engine.

and it's allegedly been in the works among a select number of employees

We reached out to Google for comment about their search engine in China.

Their “Google Spokesperson” said they do have mobile apps in China,

but they don't comment on speculation about future plans.

“You're not going to eat that entire box of Cheez-Its

but I don't comment on specific future eating plans.”

So China has a pretty big internet market:

That's bigger than the entire population of Europe.

After all, being evil can make you so much more money.

Clearly that important point was lost on the Google employee

“I'm against large companies and governments collaborating

what's being done is in the public interest,”

and that “what is done in China will become a template f

because other authoritarian nations don't have

Google is a company with 88,000 employees.

You can't expect them all to have jumped on

only “a handful of top executives and managers,”

and met with top Communist Party officials,

In May, they brought their file management app

for the popular Chinese messaging app WeChat.

Let's just say there are some privacy concerns about WeChat.

Clearly not a concern for Google, though!
