Microsoft: Censorship Notification Returns

Microsoft now has a censorship notification in the censored version of the search engine live.com that they provide for the Chinese market. The notification appears when search are made for particular keywords, however, the notification is not displayed when searches are restricted to censored domains. (See Degrading Transparency: Comparing Google, Yahoo and Microsoft for past reports).
