Supposedly typing "pornography" into Google's search bar brings up Bing advertisements, however Microsoft said it didn't purchase the term.

They did this on purpose, obviously.

Maybe it's because a lot of people search porn on bing?

i dont even need to be connected to the internet to search the worlds largest porn collection.

To make matters worse? You mean it's bad that Bing gets great video search results. Because of porn? If they're better than Google
then that's a big plus for MS. And porn is big on the net so it may be
publicly frowned on by MS but they're smiling in the office.

Searching "pornography" on Bing gives 80,500,000 results with Safe Search on Moderate and 75,700,000 results with Safe Search Off.

I'm curious about how did they find this out 😛

"Pornography" being tied to "free videos", and thus triggering Bing's advertisement is probably a feature of AdWords in general. Google always thinking ahead.

That said, I'd be wary of any sites returned on the term "pornography". Likely scam or virus-hosting websites preying on people who are inexperienced enough with sex or the internet to actually search "pornography".
