Can’t fool me, they gave it away when they removed “Don’t be evil” from their motto back in 2015.

Lol, how simplistic do you have to be to believe this means anything? First off, you need to believe in good and evil, which are completely arbitrary. And do you think they thought "hmm, we need to start doing evil things do extract more profit... Change the motto so everybody knows! But then we'll pretend to not be evil when confronted about this change..."
