To be fair a search of tank man on bing does have results including pictures. For some reason the same imagines that appear on the main search results page don't show up on the image results tab.

I'm in the US searching for it and getting nothing for the image results. Why are the images specifically blocked?

I don't think there's anything fair about this. I don't like the idea of a US company censoring information from me in this way. Because now I'm really curious as to what else is being censored/flagged out.

Trying this now from Germany, same here. 0 results in the image tab. “Keine Ergebnisse für Tank man gefunden."

It's because the search query is blocked.

I think the more surprising thing is that it only effects the Image search results, and not the web search results.

I checked the Video results, and Videos also appear blocked.

It's possible that Image and Video search utilize the same word-filter list, and for some reason web-searches use a different list.

If they were actually going to censor results wouldn't they censor the web results as well? What makes you think this isn't a technical issue.

It appears the avatar in the chip (using Material nomenclature here for the UI components) for suggested search result "Tank Man China" has the original image, but clicking on the chip takes you a page missing said image.

You've got to be joking.

Blanking out image results for a specific search string is a technical issue? This goes a little bit beyond assuming incompetence.

I don't know, if they were trying to stop the spread of information on the massacre it would be weird to blank out images but not fudge search results.
