Why is the phrase "Girls" considered "Adult content" by Bing?
I just tried searching for something totally innocent but it had the phrase "girls" in it and then I got the message saying the search result are adult and can't be shown.
obviously I know I can disable safe search or change country but it shouldn't be necessary.
there is nothing adult about the phrase "girls".
the same happens in Cortana in Windows 10.

Cause I do see why someone could classify it as adult content as the word "girl(s)" are used a lot in pornographic websites

Only Bing would be dumb enough to categorize Girls as adults.
Google can correctly differentiate between adult and non-adult (explicit and non-explicit) search results when searching for girls and any other similar phrase.
This is coming from me who is a big fan of Microsoft and Microsoft products.

Glucksritter You could search for a million non adult related things:
- Girls clothing.
- Girls shoes.
- Make up tutorials for girls.
Just to name a few.

Oh I know,
I can search for Trillions of things, but that's not the point 🙂
"Girls" is already non-adult.
just because a search engine like Bing is wrong about categorizing it, doesn't change the fact.
