Why is sharpedo blocked in image searches on DuckDuckGo and Bing, but not Google?

Good to know. Still doesn’t explain why Google behaves but DDG doesn’t.

Because Bing is owned by Microsoft, ddg uses bing by default. So if bing doesn’t load something ddg won’t either.

Do the search in ddg again but with the Google flag.

Can I find images of this Pokemon? Yes. I’m wondering why this is happening. Trying to satisfy my curiosity.

You are trying to make sense of a Microsoft product. Even they dont know how to make work so why are you trying to make sense of it not working?

You’re not even exaggerating. I was trying to figure out how to let my son play Minecraft online. His account is a minor account, and I have it in my family unit with my Microsoft account. The help page in Minecraft says to enable online play in the online privacy and security settings for his account, and as far as I can tell, no such settings exist.

Thats what happens when to different AIs don’t communicate with each other… ~/s-ish~

Maybe “sharPedo” (erroneously) triggers some CSAM rule for Bing? Shorthand for sharing pedophilia?

I had that thought, too, but “torpedo” and “pedometer” came back without issue.

That’s because they’re known words to exclude from the filter. Nobody’s flagged up sharpedo to their CSAM filter team yet.

This sentence is cracking me up

So interestingly, slight misspellings will show the pokemon with a “Showing results for Sharpedo”, but if you click on that link the results will disappear. I also can’t find any other blocked examples with different made up words.

It’s weird, like it has been manually blocked

Someone should send this post to some tech news/blog and have them look into it 😄
