A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Seems to be par for the course. When did Google remove "do no evil" as their mantra again? They start off all stary eyed and idealistic, but almost always go "alright give it to the sociopath".
Yeah, very unfortunate there
Google isn't evil. Human morality doesn't apply to an algorithm. They're amoral.
Can you start moral and end amoral? I would say that giving up morality is immoral (even if a snapshot of your end state is amoral)
its not an algorithm. its a legal box made of people who make choices, and we can make moral judgements about those choices.
