Bing Censors Image Search for 'Tank Man' Even in US​

Bing, the search engine owned by Microsoft, is not displaying image results for a search for "Tank man," even when searching from the United States. The apparent censorship comes on the anniversary of China's violent crackdown on protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

"There are no results for tank man," the Bing website reads after searching for the term. "Tank man" relates to the infamous image of a single protester standing in front of a line of Chinese tanks during the crackdown.
China censors and blocks distribution of discussion of tank man and Tiananmen Square more generally. This year, anniversary events in Hong Kong have dwindled in size after authorities banned a vigil.

Bing displays ordinary, non-image search results for tank man when searching from a U.S. IP address; the issue only impacts the images and videos tabs. Google, for its part, displays both when connecting from the same IP address.

Strom is a piece of shit neo-Nazi, but his quote is apropos here.

Two hours ago I got a news feed from our illustrious media that the Tiananmen square massacre never happened. But then suddenly, the Chinese owned media brings up the "Tulsa Massacre" from 100 years ago. Can't Question one, but emprise the other. Funny that.

The Democratic Party is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Communist Chinese Party.

These fools better see how Jack Ma was treated to understand their fate in due time.

Communists might starve the peasants, but they are especially cruel to any deep pocket threats to their own power.

Very disappointed that this thread is not about the first known Transformer who can turn from man to tank and back again

Quite a few people in Hong Kong today had the balls to observe the anniversary of the massacre despite the CCP declaring it forbidden this year.

Those tanks are emblazoned with huge communist Red Army stars

The red army star has become the symbol of the US Democratic party of slavery.

Many Hong Kong residents would make better Americans than most American leftists.
