Company blames ‘human error’ after users in US,
Germany,
Singapore and
France reported no results shown on the crackdown’s anniversary
Microsoft has blamed human error after its search engine, Bing, blocked image and video results for the phrase “tank man” – a reference to the iconic image of a lone protester facing down tanks during the 1989
protests in Tiananmen Square – on the 32nd anniversary of the
MILITARY crackdown.
Users reported that no results were shown for the search query in countries including the US, Germany, Singapore, France and Switzerland, according to Reuters and Vice News.
