>The beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our search results. Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to remove particular links or otherwise adjust search results. Although Google reserves the right to address such requests individually, Google views the comprehensiveness of our search results as an extremely important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it.

Ok, be a little bit evil, but only for lots of money, very often, everywhere.
And don't tell anyone.
The search quality engineers and leadership who maintained that philosophy have moved on to other roles by now.
