An internal Google database obtained by 404 Media shows Google recording childrens' voices, saving license plates from Street View, and many other self-reported incidents, large and small.

Not a surprise but man

I thought they got rid of that from the list altogether when they realized they couldn’t not be evil while simultaneously maximizing profits

Not really. It’s gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google’s.

Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying “I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE” and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.

It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.
