The astonishing speed of Chinese censorship
http://j.mp/XaSKmB (BBC)
"There have been several interesting studies on how Chinese censorship
works and how to work around it, but we wanted to know how the censors
do it and how they make their censorship scale to manage hundreds of
millions of users. We found a landscape in which a post could be
deleted as quickly as five minutes after being put online and where
the censors appear not to work a regular day, but seem to take a break
when China's all-important 19:00 news comes on."
