Google, keen to join the ranks of megabucks firms aiming to convince punters they take the immoral use of their tech seriously, has launched an ethics advisory council with what it terms "diverse" perspectives.

The council includes the president of a controversial right-wing think tank and the boss of a drone company, and the kick-back to these rather overshadowed what the search giant no doubt hoped would be a shiny-happy PR op.
