Unless they use a complex system to look up geolocation for all queries and forward an approximate version of that to Bing, then Bing is getting IP addresses and search terms.


If you do searches on DDG, which is powered by Bing, you get responses that are relevant to your IP-based location, which means something about your IP is being passed to Bing aka Microsoft. That’s how.


It’s DDG


It’s duckduckgo. Search duckduckgo.com with the term “restaurants near me.” You’ll often get responses that are close to your IP location.
That couldn’t happen unless DDG passes your IP address on to Bing. It’s possible they censor part of the IP and only pass part of it to Bing, but probably not.

Perhaps she was highly rational and made an autonomous decision to terminate her suffering.
The problem isn’t open information, the problem is they actively concealed information from her and didn’t list possible treatments, leading her to be shocked when she read it. Psychiatrists need to be open with patients and not hide things in records hoping they aren’t discovered by patients. She could have been discharged with something listing rule-out diagnosis and treatments for each one.
Psychiatrists also overly emphasize a dogma of brains being unable to change because it’s more profitable to have lifetime patients, and this shapes how patients think about their possibilities. If an expert says you’re always going to be broken, very few will challenge that.
