Notepad++ drops Bing after “tank man” censorship
I'd love to know the story of this "human error" (that led to tank man being censored on Bing). Like... what were they trying to do? Why do they this capability at all? Was it unauthorized removal from Bing search results? If so, by whom? Why?<p>Try and get the auto-caption on Tiktok to recognize "Tiananmen Square".<p>It sets a really bad precedent to allow or accept Western companies (yes I know Tiktok is Chinese) kowtowing to China in the hopes that those companies will gain access to the Chinese market. It's widely suspect that not having the American flag on the moon landing in the movie "First Man" was to cater to the Chinese market.<p>Let me clue in all the investors and the Western big-tech CEOs on a little secret about China: you, as a Western company, will never "win" in the Chinese market. The CCP will make sure that happens. You are literally wasting your time and debasing yourself for something that will never happen.<p>Take any Western company like Google, Uber or Amazon and the dominant player in China will be some homegrown clone of that. This is not an accident and it will never change.<p>It's time the developed world woke up to this as it is openly mocking WTO rules about equal access to markets.
