There's a reason they removed "Don't be Evil" from their corporate tenets. The almighty dollar comes first to them and they refuse to risk angering The Orange One.

    Actually they just removed the "Don't" part.

    Assuming they changed anything about their ideals and didn't just think "hey does having this here reduce suspicion as intended or raise it when it begs the question of how a tech company could even be evil when they aren't named 'Microsoft'?"
