Hey Guys, lets rate a search engine 17+ because you can find porn on the interent! (Horrible Idea)
Really? Why not rate Google 17+ then? Common sense media, you've done it again, in a bad way. This is just another search engine, i like the video preview features, but it's not much different from google. If you parents can't give your kids the simple talk about sex being natural if they do come across porn (and if your gasping to sue or blame Microsoft for exposing their "innocent" eyes to what you call "Horrible perversion" when its probably something as simple as sex), then you shouldn't have kids in the first place, their gonna see sex, and want to see it (as teens) anyway. No big deal as long as they know the risks with sex.

CSM is wack.
Honestly, if your kids want to find porn, they will. It's not that hard to type in "nude chicks" in ANY search engine. Also, this engine sucks. Google is the best, period.

For everyone, anywhere, anytime .
Up there, the informmation is idiotic, i think this website should be available to children everywhere. It is something like google, and yahoo. Go to bing* now and tell me if you see anything innapropriatte! It is the COMPLETE SAME as aol* , comcast.net , netzero..... . Just like regular home pages that your kids will see every time they use the internet. They all have the " dating " section, but would you kids be interested to click it? Ask them! And go to bing* now, and see IF THERE IS A SINGLE INNAPROPRIATTE THING!!!

Not the best search engine
All I can say is, without any type of Safe Search on, you're bound to get some type of pornography. Even if you search a random words, it will still come up with something. I have noticed this doesn't happen with other sites like Yahoo or Google.

fart and turding people
Bad Stuff Violence = Not an issue S*x = Not an issue Language = also, the teacher who's in speech has to say no to anything on the internet or "stuff 11 or under" Consumerism = not an issue dr*gs = not an issue, but sometimes negative messages and role models = not an issue Safety Issue = An issue, but for adults only. Inappropriate user Content = Yes All the time Good Stuff Educational = Not an issue. Positive Messages = An issue No Safety Problem = Maybe Great User Content = Yes

Perfect for all ages
This is just another search engine. Basically its google, but slowly it form around your personality, making everything easier to use. Just like google it has feature such as safety search. These can be disable very easily, but what 5 year is going to know how to do that? to get to the point, its just google, but better.

Bing is a Search Engine
It seems like Bing makes porn access easier, so that does raise some flags but it shouldn't make the website "Not For Kids". What a double standard it is that "sex" gets a red content rating, but "violence", "language" and "drug/alcohol/tobacco" have no content rating at all. There are some impressionable teens out there that want to watch graphically violent videos and videos containing graphic depictions of drug abuse, not just porn. It's possible to hover over any website and find explicit language. Mature teens who aren't obsessed with sex or any type of questionable behavior can handle Bing. That's why I set the age at 16.

Search Engine = Porn
The Internet = porn. Search engines SEARCH the internet. Therefore all search engines have porn. Google has porn, this has porn. Both search engines have some filters, however they are easily removed and if your kid really wants to find porn on the internet, the only thing you can do to prevent them is to watch them. You can also install porn filtering software, but even that doesn't always work. The harsh reality is ALL kids past a certain age has seen something sexually explicit, and most have actively sought it. However, the search engine is not at fault, and only you looking over their shoulders can keep them away from it.

Fine ? Average Search Engine
If the population is moderately concerned with distasteful content on a search engine, then parents should understand the interests of their children. If pornography is available on search engines, then children may not search for it because such material is not enigmatic; children tend to search for flash games and safe sites instead [if they were raised with proper guidance].

Needs a re-review!
There's nothing wrong with this site. It's educational with new educational facts and searches on the home page every day. If you're still worried, there's a History of recent searches right there when you search for something on Bing!

Not a big deal
I think it's stupid to say an entire search engine is bad because you can find porn through it (all search engines are like this) but I tested the porn video thing to see if it was really true and it is. BUT, I assumed the clip would be played on mute, like youtube preview clips. This is not true and the sudden sound after the brief load scared the crap out of me! Hahaha Anyway. This review is in general very silly. Any search engine can be used to find porn.

Blame your child - not the website!
This is absolutely ridiculous, honestly. Because a child COULD type in something pornographic and find porn, it's bad? I'm sorry, but that is your CHILD at fault, not the website. I know parents these days will blame everything before their perfect little angel of a child is at fault, but honestly. If you don't search for porn, you won't find porn. Your child being a pervert and searching for porn is NOT Bing's fault, it is your child's fault, as he or she is the one searching for it. And, by the way? "type “adlt=strict” after all search terms" is not only for IT people. Seriously, you consider having to type in 10 letters and an equal sign as "will make sense only to IT people"? Wow. Just... wow.
