I think it's been years now. At least a couple of years, I was baffled too back in the day.
it's been slowly getting worse since the 2010s. i remember talking about it back then.
I stopped using Google when they dropped their "don't be evil" principle. Not just because of that, but because their prior decisions were going against the principle. Sure it was ~10 years ago. A couple of years ago I tried Google search hoping it was still decent, but Jesus Lord, it sucked.
It's still there. See the final paragraph: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/
It's still not the same. The current writing resembles an afterthought. In the past the moto was the first thing you would read in the Code of Conduct.
And there is also the complete lack of sense between the moto and their decisions.
