So we just had Google AdWords announce banning payday loan ads and now Bing announced they are banning third party online technical support services to consumers.

So those who have technical support companies directed at consumers can no longer use Bing Ads to promote their business. Why? Bing said "because of serious quality issues that can impact end user safety."

Bing added, "this policy change reflects Microsoft’s commitment to lead the industry in providing a safer experience for all of our end users, including populations most vulnerable to online scams and other fraud activities."

I wonder if this means the Geek Squad can't advertise using Bing Ads?
