That's not how Google has defined "evil" in the past. Per Wikipedia:

> Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, said he "wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out," adding that the slogan was "also a bit of a jab at a lot of the other companies, especially our competitors, who at the time, in our opinion, were kind of exploiting the users to some extent."

"Exploiting the users" doesn't fit your definition of "evil", but it appears to have fit Google's.
