Full Story: Bing blocks sexual content in 20 percent of regions - Ars Technica

Microsoft is not my mother. Their actions are dumb.

No, but it IS their search engine, and if they want to block anything, they have that right.

Well,no this action is great. Children do not need to see this crap when attempting to find Disney.com to play a game.

Good for you MS

Feel free to either:

1) Create your own search engine
2) use a different one.

It blocks adults, which is my point. And I do use a different search engine.

Some poorly designed blockers also block things like 'breast cancer'. And I don't believe adults have the right to block adults from looking up cancer sites. Microsoft is the one with the problem, not me.

Actually, they have that right. Its their search engine, they have the right to filter/block/allow whatever they want.....

Just like on the forums I run, I dont allow certian subjects to be disscussed or brought up..there MY forums...dont like it ? dont use em...simple solution

Well here is the deal, the OP stated it blocked sexual content. Sexual content is adult content and it is blocked. Such is life. There are plenty other engines that will spit out enough porn to sink a battleship.

Yes, adults have the right to block other adults. In this land it usually is called the law. So key words such as breast gets tagged and blocked. That was their choice to use this as a tag word. No matter how hard any search engine tries it will not satisfy all.

Well, no, adults can only block certain kinds of adult material in the US, not all adult material from adults.

If those nations asked Microsoft to block it, well, I guess I don't have a problem with the blocking. But in the US, such blocking is unacceptable.

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.
