Is there a connection beyond the coincidental, beyond what one would expect statistically by the fact that more people means more opportunity for wrongdoing? One of Google's well-known guiding principles has always been "do no evil."1 I have to credit them for the gutsy move of putting it right out there like that... but you know eventually it's going to draw criticism. Given Google's now-gargantuan size, this motto, and a recent event or two, it only makes sense to see if these dots connect with my recurring question about size and evil.
