Myself, I don't use the internet for those purposes. I prefer NASA photos of galaxies.
Actually, they can block anything they want...like I satted earlier, its THEIR search engine...they can block what they want on it, even in the USA. There is no law that says you MUST allow anyone to search for ANYTHING. And, IMHO its perfectly acceptable for them to do with THEIR search engine what they want.
Like I stated earlier, I block certian subjects and disscussions on my forums. Am I censoring it, yup sure am...do I have the right to censor MY forums...yup, does Microsoft have the right to filter searches on THEIR search engine, yup.
