IG is one of the partners of Google in Brazil, and is connected to a plot to overthrow the Brazilian government, articulated by corrupt officials from past administrations, that are afraid to be jailed as a result of the actual administration inquiries.<BR/>So, seems like that at least in Brazil, GOOG motto is BE VERY EVIL...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-24686027020796593862008-03-29T16:18:00.000-07:002008-03-29T16:18:00.000-07:00I've always interpreted Google's mantra as "don't ...I've always interpreted Google's mantra as "don't abuse your power".

Taken to the extreme (and outside the realms of discussing Google Inc), even the most cruel dictactor oftens thinks they are doing good overall, if at the sacrifice of small evils. Also, the death penatly for instance is a small evil for a perceived subjective greater good. However, "do not do any evil" makes it a bit harder to apply the "justified by greater good" ethics. Perhaps that's why it was such a successful guideline, and perhaps that's why it had to go.Philipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.com
