Microsoft Services Impacted: Bing API Outage Disrupts Copilot, DuckDuckGo Search, ChatGPT

While DuckDuckGo prides itself on privacy and not tracking users, it actually relies on Bing's search results for a significant portion of its own. This outage highlights the interconnectedness of the search engine landscape, even for privacy-focused alternatives

Many users are experiencing issues with Bing today. Searches were initially unavailable, and while some results are now loading, other features like Bing's API seem to be down. This outage affects services that rely on Bing, like DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, which are currently unable to return search results. Additionally, Microsoft Copilot and the web search functionality for ChatGPT Plus subscribers are also impacted.
