Microsoft faces bipartisan criticism in the U.S. for alleged censorship on Bing in China
Microsoft is the subject of growing criticism in the US over allegations that its Bing search engine censors results for users in China that relate to sensitive subjects the state wants blocked.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio has added his voice to criticism of the Redmond software giant for reportedly removing search results from Bing on human rights, democracy, climate change, and other sticky issues within China.
The move follows an earlier call from Democrat Senator Mark Warner for Microsoft to consider shutting off access to Bing in China for the same reasons after a report from Bloomberg claimed the platform was excluding information on certain topics to satisfy Beijing.
Rubio said there was "no defending" such actions, and that "every company doing business in China makes concessions to a genocidal, authoritarian regime."
People there are happy to continue with WeChat. I'm not sure if they know what it means for WeChat to be never taken down while others are.
Or QQ, which is made by the same company. Tencent has a monopoly on nearly all software aspects of the nation... There are notable exceptions, but still, it makes life super bloated.
What's crazy is there are people here on Lemmy who think China is the good guy.
Every place, online and offline, has its fools. Lemmy is no exception, which does not surprise me all that much.
