The Evil List
Which tech companies are really doing the most harm? Here are the 30 most dangerous, ranked by the people who know

The tech industry doesn’t intoxicate us like it did just a few years ago. Keeping up with its problems—and its fixes, and its fixes that cause new problems—is dizzying. Separating out the meaningful threats from the noise is hard.

Is Facebook really the danger to democracy it looks like? Is Uber really worse than the system it replaced? Isn’t Amazon’s same-day delivery worth it? Which harms are real and which are hypothetical? Has the techlash gotten it right? And which of these companies is really the worst? Which ones might be, well, evil?

What did we find? While the major U.S. tech companies topped the vote—read on to find out which came in at No. 1—our respondents are deeply concerned about foreign companies dabbling in surveillance and A.I., as well as the domestic gunners that power the data-broker business.
And some people don’t have a problem with Amazon or Apple or even Facebook at all—which is why we included dissents for many of the top companies on our list.

Google's Heart-Warming Super Bowl Ad Called 'Evil'
Google’s Super Bowl Stunt
February 3, 2020

Bubbling around $5.6 million per unit, a Super Bowl commercial is about the most money you can spend on 30 seconds of airtime, and for good reason — it’s worth it.
A Super Bowl ad is the complete opposite of targeted advertising. It is, in modern parlance, 100% waste advertising.

It’s a three-hanky, heart-tugging spot that has us eavesdropping on an elderly widower hoping that Google Assistant will help him remember the highlights of his life with his late wife.
The ad is beautiful, poignant, thoughtful, sentimental, informative and… evil. It may be the most evil advertisement I’ve ever seen.

This was an ad designed to make people who have no idea what Google does for a living (or how Google works) give Google their private data.
