An expert on internet and famous blogger estimated that the Chinese communist regime eliminates daily 95 percent of the content published in the 220 million blogs exist in China.
Was quoted today by the newspaper "South China Morning Post, Xianghui Isaac Mao, a member of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University (USA) estimates that the percentage that is eliminated by the Chinese censors every day.
Mao builds on the data that was released last Tuesday by the Chinese State Council itself (executive body), which states that 66 percent of the 400 million Chinese netizens left three million daily messages on blogs "and other internet forums.
According to studies by Mao, a blogger 0.5 active often leave comments daily, so the real figure should be 72.6 million, not 3 million as the government says.
"The difference between the two data reveals that 95.9 percent of the comments are removed in the process of censorship," Mao said, referring to the Chinese regime's efforts to curb freedom of expression in the largest Internet market planet.
The contents in the network have grown 124 times since Mao began work on the Internet in 2002, and until 2008.
"Customers are like rats and the mechanism of censorship is a cat. There are too many mice and the cat does not know how to hunt," said the expert at a forum on Internet in Asia Pacific.
The Chinese network is one of the most censored in the world, since it prevents access to video servers like YouTube or social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, some examples from a long list of prohibitions that expands daily.
