Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content

sopssa writes "Bing has set up a separate domain just for porn images and videos. '[The] general manager of Microsoft Bing said in a blog post that potentially explicit images and video content now will be coming from one separate domain — explicit.bing.net. 'This is invisible to the end customer, but allows for filtering of that content by domain which makes it much easier for customers at all levels to block this content regardless of what the SafeSearch settings might be.' When Bing was first launched, there was some online chatter about explicit images popping up when videos were 'previewed' in the search results. This means the thumbnails and videos are served from that domain, allowing easy filter of them in corporate and school networks. Users still normally use www.bing.com. Instead of heavily filtering the results, this is quite a good move."

    So, why exactly do you believe that seeing a breast is somehow something to be avoided? And why exactly do you believe that you must enforce your belief on others in the form of censorship?

    Slashdot, fix your code or at least hire someone who is competent at it to do it for you.
