I still find it ironic that a company who had the motto, "don't be evil" for such a long time has been known to be engaged in anti-consumerist, anti-competitive and government lobbyist behaviour for a very long time.

Google removed the motto because they've become so big they don't have to be ethical or appease to the do-gooders anymore. Nobody else is on the same level, Google is the bank of Internet based companies. They're in bed with governments, heavily lobby lawmakers for their own benefit and worse of all, seem to be hellbent on pursuing artificial intelligence even though many warn against it.

The thing with China is their economy is so big and powerful, many companies are willing to look the other way and ignore the human rights abuses if it means getting a chance to capture even a single digit percentage of the China market because that would still be a lot bigger than other countries like Australia.

Make no mistake Google and Amazon are both going to destroy mankind. Both are in bed with governments and all for the sake of making a few billion in profit, but at what cost?

Yup, Google was set to take over the world, so many apps online. I remember they had an awesome collaboration project thing where you could draw together, like a whiteboard, then they removed that. AI will be the death of humanity as I see it :/

Yeah, getting into the China market has been key for the past decades. Communist-capitalist merger that seems to work well as long as you do what the state allows u to and not more ... Amazon is a giant now for sure. Revolutionized how ppl buy things world-over...
