A Microsoft spokesperson told Motherboard in an email that "This is due to an accidental human error and we are actively working to resolve this."

Translation: "This was only supposed to happen in China whoopsie."

like seriously

I don't trust ambiguous excu-lations of events lacking any plausible detail as to the reasoning behind said occurrence anymore

Must have been something embarrassing or unadmittable

I'm trying to find the book where I first learned about him and learned more about TS in general, it was a YA book from the 90's (even though based on a real event of course, I believe fictional) where the protagonist is a young boy whose father is a journalist covering the events, but I can't find the name of the book so far despite my best Google sleuthing. I thought maybe it was Avi but I guess not.

Anyway, Tank Man was one of the most heroic figures I've ever seen and until this new age where everything is photographed was like, literally, perhaps the most heroic figure photographed in all of history, up until recent history where it's harder to say because now there are so many documented images to choose from. He disappeared after standing down a COLUMN OF (Communist) TANKS that could have gunned him down or more easily outright ran him over, and giving them a lecture on basic human decency.

As it stands he was never heard from again. Literally noone but the innermost of the CCP, if them even, know what became of his ultimate fate.

Nowadays you are considered heroic for so much less, but f' that, he's the reason I won't dilute the word for heroes.

What's the problem? It's their search engine. They can do whatever the fuck they want with it. Don't like it? Use a different one.

Trying to delete important history from half the world is the problem

That man stood up for fundamental human rights and paid the ultimate price, everyone should remember the image and it should never be censored away, not anywhere

Enjoy living in a CCP controlled world as their influence continues to grow.

Blockbuster movies are not allowed to be critical of China if they want to play in their theaters, the 2nd biggest market. John Cena just apologized for recognizing Taiwan. Just the start.
