Microsoft Adds Another Porn Filter to Bing
, As well as a mobile site and a redesign of its Farecast service, now known as Bing Travel.Some, however, have complained that users who explicitly request a Bing search that includes adult content will receive videos with explicit content without needing to leave the Bing site itself. One of Bing's features, called Smart Motion Previews, creates a 30-second "trailer" of the content on the Bing site itself, offering up a snippet of the movie to the user.
Microsoft defended the Smart Motion Previews technology.
"What's cool about the technology is that it helps you decide if it is a video you want to go watch," Mike Nichols, Bing's general manager, wrote in a blog post . "This makes it easier to sort through the clutter of all those results and help you get to what you are looking for. And as a publisher, when people leave Bing for your site (and require bandwidth on your servers) it tends to be higher quality traffic because folks are sure of what they wanted to watch. Plus, we think it's pretty cool."
