Microsoft updates Bing to stop porn access

Very recently Microsoft launched it new search engine called Bing. People and community is very happy  about the release.

Fox news criticized about the about Bing, claiming that it provides “a cornucopia of pornography” and that it is easy to transform “the search engine into [your] very own pornographic Web site.”

But there are certain issues discussed about this video clip preview feature. Built into the search engine to give it the edge over its competitors, the feature allows users to search for videos, and by getting the cursor over the video to get a small preview of what the user can expect to see.

This has upset a lot of network administrators who want to block sexual content from being watched in the work place.

In order to fulfill their requirements Bing has been updated with more restrictions options that disable video previews, but as a temporary fix, Microsoft has released a string of code for administrators to enforce the strictest search settings.

A finalized update will be released shortly as Microsoft tackles the issue, but as for now the end user will not be able to search key words related to sexual content such as “porn”, prompting the user with the warning “The search [porn] may return explicit adult content. To view these videos, turn off safe search.”
