No PORN for Indians on Microsoft’s BING!

Microsoft launched its new search engine, Bing! As expected, it is making news for all the wrong reasons and to be fair I’ve also read good things about it on Twitter and Blogosphere. I personally would stick to it for a while and use it before writing it off.
TechCrunch published a post about how easy it is to find porn on Bing. At this point with the new search engine out in the market no publicity is bad publicity for Microsoft, in fact this could be one of the stunts to get people to use the search engine, after all porn is one of the top selling content on the internet.
Anyway, following the article on TechCrunch I clicked on the example query only to find out that my safe search is on and there is no option to disable it. Which simply means if you are from India you cannot turn the safe search settings OFF from the preferences page.
The safe search options are missing for Indian users..
But if you are from some other country you will get to turn the Safe Search options off.
There is a way to work around this issue, simply click on the <country> name next to the “Sign in” link and change your country to “United States” and boom you will see the option to turn the safe search OFF.
The option of turning the Safe Search OFF not only disappears for Indians but also other countries like Germany, Singapore, Turkey, etc..
HA! I don’t believe I just wrote a post on how to watch PORN!!

Hey Rohit..
Agreed Bing is new but the underlying data is not.
In any case I don't think a search engine can take away an option because they have no information to show.
I am sure they have their own reasons to deny selected countries of Safe search option.
btw, thanks for the comment 
decision engine deciding what should we watch or not???
Is Bing another much hyped one?
The only one good thing I can see in Bing is Related Search.
I did try that and then concluded that as Bing is new, they may not have indexed yet such sites. But, you brought it to spotlight.
