Summary: Lock Up Your Daughters, Bing is Back in Town

Microsoft’s renamed search engine [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] is proven unsafe for children due to very explicit pornographic images and videos. “Bing.com was a sex site in 1995,” remarks Oiaohm. And now it’s being blocked:

i. Websense blocks Bing in IM snafu

Websense users were temporarily blocked from enjoying the launch of Microsoft’s Bing search engine on Monday.

ii. China shuts down Twitter and Bing in lead up to Tiananmen anniversary

It’s widely known that China runs a pretty tight ship – to put it mildly – on what its citizens get to see online, especially that content which exists outside of China.

Not quite the spectacular launch Microsoft hoped for, eh? █
