#4Genuine question: why is there not more outrage over Bing working in China? Surely there's as much user tracking/censorship as Google is doing?

I think it is just due to the fact that Google has such a massive market share. In comparison, Bing seems pretty insignificant and would make less of an impact.

Microsoft and Bing never started with the mantra of "Don't be evil". Microsoft also has a much more established history of working with different government agencies and foreign governments. The perceived contrast from what people expect from Google and what Google is doing now is just that much more glaring/obvious.

This seems like the worst part (not that the rest is not bad), anyone has an idea of what this "pixel trackers" are and how they actually work?
