Google's veil of not evil while always hyperbole has been pierced. At this point, it feels like the moment in the wizard of oz when they see the man behind the curtain.

Google is the great satan! Let us rise up, overthrow the beast, and bathe in it's blood!

If you think they are evil, no amount of them saying otherwise will convince you; that's what an evil company would say. I have my doubts about their proposal, but from friends who have worked there and my public impression, they seem more trustworthy than most companies, and their justifications in the link seem relatively reasonable. I'm not ready to label them "evil" and grab a pitchfork just yet.

EDITED for 'negation overload':

I never believed that google was not evil. It was a myth that people talked themselves into and at this point, it has been pierced and I don't think those people will be able to go back. They aren't evil. Just a corporation out for their own interests whereas before, many people saw them as a knight in shining armor.

"I never thought they weren't 'not evil'"

Negation overload! I had to read that 3 or 4 times before I understood what you meant.

Good point there... edit time.
