And it's true. I just tried a search for "tank man" on bing, and he isn't there.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=tank+man&qs=n&form=QBILPG&sp=-1&pq=tank+&sc=8-5&cvid=AEFC64912A064E469A84C9A522846024&first=1&tsc=ImageBasicHover

Fortunately, Duckduckgo is still not corrupted by the Chinese yet and you can find the image there:

This guy stopping a column of CCP tanks by just standing in front of them is an event for the history books.

It is inspiring. I saw it when it happened. He was world famous at the time for his courage. I'm sure the CCP has had him killed.

I should quote the Wikipedia right now as well, but they have also proven themselves corrupt so they may censor it too:

Tank Man (also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel) is the nickname of an unidentified Chinese man who stood in front of a column of tanks leaving Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989, the day after the Chinese military had suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests. As the lead tank maneuvered to pass by the man, he repeatedly shifted his position in order to obstruct the tank's attempted path around him. The incident was filmed and shared to a worldwide audience. Internationally, it is considered one of the most iconic images of all time.[1][2][3] Inside China, the image and the accompanying events are subject to censorship.[4]

There is no reliable information about the identity or fate of the man; the story of what happened to the tank crew is also unknown.[5] At least one witness has stated that "Tank Man" was not the only person who had opposed the tanks during the protest. Shao Jiang, who was a student leader, said: "I witnessed a lot of the people standing up, blocking the tanks."[6] Tank Man is unique in that he is the only one who was photographed and recorded on video.

Lol, now that there are articles about how Microsoft is sucking Chinese cock, they put the tank man pictures BACK on Bing images!

But I saw for myself earlier today that I got hundreds of results on Bing images for a search for "tank man" and not one of those images were of the Tiananmen Square tank man.

I heard they were blaming "Human Error", which means they interfered particularly with the algo just for this particular search.

Maybe some CCP-controlled employee of MS did it.

The test of whether this was "human error" or a "CCP controlled employee" will come in a month or so after the commotion has settled. If the Tiananmen Square tank man disappears again, you know it was a deliberate policy by Microsoft.

Microsoft continues to be accused of censorship, deleting “kung flu” comments

Comments are disappearing.

A number of critics of China’s authorities are accusing Microsoft of carrying out pro-Beijing censorship on its LinkedIn platform.

One of them is Budapest-based Adam Laszlo Rocska, CEO of the 21Gram Technology startup, who said on Twitter that his post, a joke at the expense of China’s communist rulers referencing “Kung Flu fighting” had been censored.

Disney censors The Simpsons episode with Tiananmen Square reference in Hong Kong
Censoring for China.




Disney+ has censored an episode of The Simpsons in Hong Kong, where the streaming service recently launched. The episode was censored over references to the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Until June last year, Hong Kong operated separately from China. Hong Kongers enjoyed more freedoms than the mainland.

However, since Beijing enforced the national security law in Hong Kong, the censorship laws enforced in China started applying on the island.

On social media, Disney+ subscribers began reporting that an episode in Season 16 had been removed in Hong Kong.

We’ve managed to confirm that the Season 16 episode “Goo Goo Gai Pan” has been removed in Hong Kong.

The episode had two references to the Tiananmen Square massacre. It featured the famous Tank Man Photo and a plaque with the statement “Tien An Men Square: On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.” People often use the statement to mock the government’s attempts to erase the event from history.

In China references to the Tiananmen Square massacre are heavily censored and is called the “Tiananmen Square Incident.”

On June 4, 1989, in an effort to stop a protest by students about corruption in the government and democratic reforms, the Chinese government sent the army to Tiananmen Square with tanks. The exact death toll from the clash between protesters and the army has never been released, although it is speculated to be in the thousands.

The University of Hong Kong displayed a monument called "The Pillar of Shame" which was placed to remember those who were massacred by the Chinese Communist Government in Tiananmen Square.

There's no shelf life for Justice or Revenge.

We'll probably know more about that, in the mid term elections when the 88,000 IRS Storm Troopers Biden hired starts arresting the millions of Trump supporters, for not paying the Obamacare mandate. Just to chip away at the Republican base.

Good luck with that: Obamacare mandate has been repealed in 2017.

Pang, who is a pastor, supported an activist who wanted to commemorate the Tianneman Square tragedy.

And because he went against China's communist rulers, due to his Christian conviction, he is now being jailed as if he's a traitor.

I found the image right away, here it is:



Yandex doesn't censor, unless possibly it's Russian. https://mavink.com/explore/Tank-Man-in-Tiananmen-Square

You have to abandon central intelligence agency controlled cutouts. You have to realize, that's really what Google is. Corporations have no ethics or values, their only responsibility is to increase shareholder value.

i’ve seen the video too. that man climbs the tank, another man from the crowd comes gets him, and they run off. no actual massacre occurs.

No one knows what happened to that dude. Chinese surveillance wasn't what it is today, so hopefully he's still alive, but odds are against it.

There were a number of incidents like this where the people attempted to prevent soldiers from reaching the square. so obviously, all took place outside Tienanmen. Government only got their massacre by busing in soldiers from other provinces, as locals wouldn't kill their own.

@"Eric Holder" - Name the last CIA coup that you consider to be successful. By "success", I mean it either advantaged the United States and didn't bite them in the ass later, or it advantage the people of the country and made them somehow better off.

It Tiananmen Square WAS a CIA coup attempt, yeah, the Chinese were most likely very lucky it failed. That's the track record of our CIA. If they did nothing, not only would the US be better off, probably the entire goddamned world would be better off.

I'm no expert. What does McGregor say on the subject?

Pretty easy to predict you wouldn't have an answer.

Every coup that the US does, fucks the US and the country. We're being fucked now with Ukraine and so is Ukraine.

I'd say that the CLOSEST we had to a success was Operation Ajax. That at least helped the US (for 20 years), it helped SOME parts of Iran, but the regime was so brutal and criminal to its enemies (including pro-democracy advocates), that it's now a theocracy that we've been at a low key of war with for 50 years now. I think that's our best success, but I don't know every country our dumbshit CIA overthrew.

Ukraine, I know is fucked, you know why? Because the US overthrew it. When the US overthrows a country, they FUCK IT HARD. Just that alone tells me that Ukraine is screwed in this stupid war. They have a greater than 90% success ratio in screwing the US and the country they overthrew. We'll be fucked too. Ukraine has bought the US NOTHING at all. All it's done is show we can't build an army, our military equipment sucks, and is super expensive and pretty much useless with a 7:1 kill ratio, IF I am to believe the "Discord leaks", and I know I can't - at least not yet. I'll find out in a few years.
