In February 2014, the anti-censorship group GreatFire.org reported that Microsoft's Bing search engine appeared to censor Chinese-language results for users around the world — not only inside China — returning sharply limited results for sensitive terms such as the Dalai Lama, the Tiananmen Square crackdown and Falun Gong. Microsoft denied deliberately censoring results outside China, attributing the discrepancies to a technical error and to standard removals for spam or legal reasons. GreatFire rejected the explanation, accusing Microsoft of 'deploying Chinese censorship on a global scale.' The controversy renewed scrutiny of how the company founded by Bill Gates accommodated Beijing's censorship demands.
