…running a search for “meat sandwich” and actually getting pictures of meat sandwiches in return.Google gets the lion’s share of press coverage for perceived censorship of its search engine. But a new report says that Microsoft’s Bing may not only censor searches, it may do so more harshly than notoriously repressive Arab nations.Open Net Initiative, a partnership between the University of Toronto and Harvard, conducted the study in the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Algeria, and Jordan. Their findings: just about anything related to sex was censored.ONI entered words like “sex,” “intercourse,” “breast,” “nude,” and “penis” into Bing search field’s in both Arabic and English. In return, its investigators got the following statement: “Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might contain adult content.”(Curiously uncensored: the word “vagina.”)ONI can’t say whether or not Microsoft initiated the censorship or whether they were pressured to do so by the Arab nations. But if cornered, expect them to blame the whitewashed search results on an incredibly specific software bug.
