Microsoft is banning “terrorist content” as an amendment to its terms of service.

"Terrorist content" is being defined as that which depicts graphic violence, encourages violent action, endorses a terrorist organization or its acts, or encourages people to join such groups.

What this means is that Microsoft will remove links and content on Bing when required to do so under local law.

Microsoft plans on making partnerships with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, civil society, academics, government and industry representatives.

In the meantime, Microsoft plans on continuing its “notice-and-takedown” process for removal of prohibited content.
