I'd say creating the surveillance state is on par with weapons systems, drones, etc. The fact that every American is spied on (I know they accepted the T&Cs) and has zero privacy anymore is not "don't be evil".

Not if the people actually ask for it. Adoption shows people want the features the "surveillance state" empowers.

A definition that calls that evil also calls auto manufacturers evil because of the car accident rate.
