Re:Notepad++ drops Bing after “tank man” censorship by FridayoLeary on Monday June 07, 2021 @05:19PM (#27427105)
I agree it's pretty meaningless [Edit: in fact i posted this in the hope that someone would actually say that]. Didn't Google have the same issue? (correct me if i'm wrong). But still, bing's "explanation" was so incredibly pathetic, weak and opaque, it deserves to be dropped just for that

"This is due to an accidental human error and we are actively working to resolve this.” In their own words. That's it!? They should be tripping over their feet in their haste to apologize! Executives should be coming out of the woodwork apologizing to everyone in sight and offering explanations to congress. But that's just my humble opinion.

No, Google didn't have this issue, because unlike pretty much all other search engines on the market Google isn't a frontend to Bing (well, I guess there are also a few frontends to Yandex, but they're more rare).
