If as you suggest &quot;(a) school (or home or company) filters out explicit.bing.net&quot; then they are filtering out what ever Microsoft deems as explicit and this scares me. There is no way to know what is deemed explicit, no way to know what is filtered out and no way to adjust those settings - Does a site of medical images get filtered out? What about art? A site on Breast Cancer? As a search engine, Bing should filter out illegal content and nothing more. Or, heaven forbid they use 15 year old technology, implement an automated version of something like PICS [ <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.w3.org/PICS/">http://www.w3.org/PICS/</a> ]. Schools and individuals should be free to make the decision as to what to filter and when. Otherwise, rather than as you suggest, &quot;no matter what setting the web browser has you will not see explicit content in Bing results.&quot; no matter what, you will not have any idea what you are NOT seeing in Bing results.</p>
