Bing returning highly censored results in China – any insight?
Bing suddenly started returning highly censored results on its China-facing search engine. Non-sensitive subject words still return very few results, extremely poor results and only from 'official' websites like chinadaily or other government sites.
Any insight here? Is this just censorship as usual, is it something new, or is it just a Bing screwup? Any thoughts appreciated!

- westiseast 11y agoI was thinking this, it would have to be a major screwup though. It's basically killed the entire search engine for at least 24hors now.
