    All these companies start off with altruistic intentions and then become evil. Money and power is helluva drug.

      Google set out specifically to not be evil. They even set their company motto as “don’t be evil”. But then racist fucking psychopath Sundar Pichai was hired as CEO and the motto was scraped for “do the right thing”, with the “right thing” always being evil. The new motto is only half spoken. The full motto is truly “do the right thing to obtain money and power at all costs”.
