Bing Bans 'Computer Support' Ads From Its Network (mspoweruser.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft has changed the terms of service for its Bing Ad network to disallow ads which offer computer support service. Its Bing Ads User Safety Policy now reads: Bing Ads disallows the promotion of third party online technical support services to consumers because of serious quality issues that can impact end user safety. These ads mislead users, tricking them to believe that their PC is infected. This is clearly a move to block scammers from making victims of Bing users, but any and all third party tech support ads will be blocked, including, perhaps legitimate ones.
Or computer users from windows?
My mother called Microsoft and they tried to sell her a support. She got me on a conference call with him after she had already been on the call for quite a while. I actually listened to him until I realized he was blatantly lying to her to sell her some bogus overpriced piece of shit support plan that would have never actually solved her problem. Microsoft doesn't want their ad business to hurt their shitty support business.
