Microsoft's Bing search engine filtering negative searches about Muslims?

Posted by Robert on March 15, 2010 12:29 PM

Has Bing come down with the same "bug" that infected Google for so long -- [1] the one that censored negative searches about Islam?

Try it yourself: go to [2] Bing and type in "Jews are." One suggested completion of the phrase will show up:

BingJewsare.jpg

Now type in "Christians are," and you'll get two suggestions:

BingChristiansare.jpg

But if you type in "Muslims are," you get no hint that they are evil, pumpkin-like, or stupid. You get nothing at all:

BingMuslimsare.jpg

So once again possible negative suggestions are filtered out for the world's most thin-skinned and lethal religious believers -- the ones waging a global campaign against free speech about the aspects of their religion that incite and justify violence and supremacism. What a coincidence!

For more on Bing, see [3] here.

(Thanks to Richard for the heads-up.)
