ABSTRACT
Autocompletions on Google and Bing.. The Google autocomplete FAQ reads, “We
exclude a narrow class of search queries related to pornography, violence, hate speech,
and copyright infringement.” Bing makes similar claims about filtering spam and detect-
ing adult or offensive content. Such editorial choices set the stage for broadly specify-
ing censorship criteria. But what exactly are the boundaries of that censorship, and
how do they differ among search engines?
