Microsoft's Bing search engine shows results for sickening child pornography images, research has found.
The disturbing revelation discovered that it was easy to find illegal photos of under-age boys and girls on the site.
Image searches for 'porn kids,' 'porn CP' (a known abbreviation for 'child pornography') and 'nude family kids' all produced the exploitative content.
People looking for the horrific photos only needed to turn off SafeSearch filter to find the imagery.
An investigation commissioned by TechCrunch found that Bing also suggested other disturbing phrases to help paedophiles target children.
Researchers have warned people not to search for the content covered in the study as they may be breaking the law.

Researchers discovered that illegal photos of under-age boys and girls were displayed on the search engine's image results using simple search terms with the SafeSearch filter switched off (stock image)
Search terms for children and Omegle, a free site for chatting to strangers, not only provided inappropriate photos of minors but also presented associated search suggestions.
Among the related searches Bing offered were 'kids live video chat', 'omegle girls only kids' and 'how to find kids on omegle', while clicking on photos also provided similar image suggestions.
Online safety company AntiToxin Technologies was commissioned by TechCrunch to carry out the investigation, under supervision of legal counsel and authorities.
Microsoft said it has now removed the offending content.
'Clearly these results were unacceptable under our standards and policies, and we appreciate TechCrunch making us aware,' said Jordi Ribas, corporate vice president for Bing & AI products.
'We acted immediately to remove them, but we also want to prevent any other similar violations in the future. We're focused on learning from this so we can make any other improvements needed.'
Child protection charity NSPCC wants the Government to set up an independent regulator to prevent child abuse images being distributed online.

'It is shocking that as law enforcement agencies are working hard to stop child abuse images being shared online, these images are readily appearing in Bing search results, with the search engine's algorithms even recommending more,' said Andy Burrows, the NSPCC's associate head of child safety online.
'The NSPCC's Wild West Web campaign has been calling on Government to create an independent regulator to force tech companies to protect children and stop such material being shared, and to make them accountable when they fail to do so.'
In 2015, Microsoft launched a free PhotoDNA technology which is able to help identify and remove images that exploit children, used by companies including Facebook and Twitter.
Two years before, the company also became the first search engine to introduce pop-up warnings to anyone who attempted to search for child abuse images.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
