Why is my Bing wallpaper advertising a transphobic author's films on my desktop?

  1. Why in the world is my Bing wallpaper today an advertisement for a film collection, not a beautiful landscape or nature photo?
  2. Will there be more advertisements, and if so, must I uninstall Bing wallpaper now to prevent them, or is there a way to opt out?
  3. Importantly, why is Microsoft choosing to profit from advertising for the Harry Potter franchise, when there are large and growing calls from fans & actors to boycott the franchise, due to the author's notorious bigotry? See for example:
    https://people.com/jk-rowlings-anti-trans-campaign-is-disappointing-11722073
  4. In conclusion, why is Microsoft flooding millions of computer screens with an advertisement that will fund hatred, and how large of a donation will they make to a transgender non-profit (TLC, for example**) to right this egregious wrong, especially given that transgender non-profits are now underfunded due to such hatred?**
