Tiananmen Square Tank Man vanishes from Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, other search engines – even in America
The Register ^ | 4 Jun 2021 | Thomas Claburn

Thirty-two years ago, on June 4, 1989, Chinese troops killed and arrested thousands of pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, putting an end to demonstrations that began that April.

Microsoft's Bing has no memory of an iconic moment from that time: there's no record of Tank Man – the lone protester who faced down a column of tanks – in Bing's image search index.

...

Just as this article was about to be published, we saw that at least one photo of the Tank Man can be seen in Bing search results again albeit not very prominently.

This goes with that picture. This is what the Chinese government did to those that participated in the protest. They tracked them all down and executed them. Tragically, there are many on the Left that want this done to the January 6th protestors.

This is old news. There was a thread about it yesterday. Bing actually did take it down, and then got too much flack about it and so they put it back.

Pretty savage picture, but I thought she was a drug mule and was executed for that. I’ve seen this picture before.

Their false-flag ANTIFA, Occupy, BLM friends who committed all the violence? Nope, they get a pass.

For a large part of the day it was not there. The article clearly says that.
