>So, I initiated a transfer of the domain name to the old university email address of their co-founder, and told them they'd have to ask him for it. And something about this being an opportunity for discussing don't-be-evil.

And it worked! They clearly did. And dropped "Don't be evil" from having anything to do with the company's present or future. How long between that and them selling ML services to the pentagon for kill-bots? :(

(Still a great story and I like your response, more power to you.)
