Do they honestly expect people to believe that?

My theory:

Microsoft’s goal was to hide the tank man images, and only the tank man images, from the other image results.

But an engineer, in an act of defiance, made it so that all results would be hidden, making Microsoft’s agenda stupidly obvious, but making it seem like the engineer did it “on accident”.

Why do you think that theory is more likely than they wanted to censor it in china, but accidentally censored it everywhere?
