It has an effect not only on Bing but also on the search function of the Windows Start menu as well as DuckDuckGo, which makes use of the autosuggest system that Bing provides. Microsoft Censorship in Bing’s Search EngineĪccording to The Citizen Lab, the Microsoft censorship is enforced both for names typed in Chinese characters and for names typed in English letters. If you try using Microsoft Bing, there may be no autofill results that appeared for several public figures or government officials, such as President Xi Jinping, in either the English or the Chinese version of the search. The study, which was conducted by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto and published on May 19, came to the conclusion that the search results provided by Bing’s autofill system, which makes educated guesses about what users are looking for after only a few keystrokes, frequently failed to connect users to the names of Chinese dissidents who are opposed to the current government. Microsoft Bing has been censoring names involved in Chinese politics.Īccording to a new report published by the University of Toronto, Microsoft may be censoring search results on the Bing search engine for political dissidents in China as well as in the United States itself. Microsoft Bing is at it again, censoring names from Chinese politics in Bing’s search engine.
