Microsoft joins Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Reddit in fight against revenge porn

Always late to the party these days, Microsoft is finally joining the fight against revenge porn.

The company joins Google, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter in promising to remove links to revenge porn as requested.

In a blog post, Microsoft says that it will honor requests to have revenge porn and photos and videos taken out of Bing search results. It will also remove access to revenge porn that’s been shared on OneDrive or Xbox Live.

Here’s the form where you can request a takedown.

Revenge porn is a practice wherein your ex-beau uploads lewd nudie pictures (and sometimes videos) of you and your private bits to a website that will charge you money to have that material taken down.

Removing links to this kind of content is sadly only a small step towards eradicating revenge porn sites, but it does hamper distribution. For more information, Microsoft encourages people to check out Cyber Civil Rights Initiative and Without My Consent.
