I'm a member of “no politics evar” crowd, but I feel like both deliberate digital censorship AND artificial tweaks to search results are valid topics.

I hope this was the result of a rogue actor rather than a corporate decision.

I just hope they don't say it was just a mistake ("glitch") that has now been fixed, like:

"Because of a mistake a configuration change meant for some only some regions was also applied to Bing US. This has now been fixed." (To be clear, I just made this up.)

Actual quote: Microsoft said the issue was "due to an accidental human error and we are actively working to resolve this."

"A significant percentage of the Microsoft employees who work on Bing are based in China, including some who work on image-recognition software, according to a former employee."
