Don't Be Evil*

The basics: Google, by way of their Getting Kenyan Business Online initiative, stole customers (and data) from rival Mocality. 

Mocality uncovered as much in a clever sting operation, not unlike the one Google itself used to catch Bing “borrowing” search results last year. 

What a fucked up situation. Google has fessed up to it, but is distancing themselves — “a team of people working on a Google project” sure is a funny way of saying “Google employees”. Not good.
