US Senate banned from Wikipedia for vandalizing Snowden's page

[Nakura Chambers]

They changed the word "dissident" to "traitor" on his page. lol

i guess they are still butt flustered about the whole situation.

[Erolian]

I can feel the butt hurt from here

[TirielWoW]

That's kind of hilarious.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

How low they sink. I hope those people get smacked on the wrist or rather in big trouble. I get Snowden is a big deal and done a lot of things(Good and bad) but sheesh.

Just more propaganda from our Government.

Oh god that's absolutely hilarious.

Ya know, the senate isn't "one person."

Did they find the IP addresses of all senators, and then ban them?

[Nadev]

Can we fire all of the Congress critters? Please?

It's a senate IP

"This IP address, 156.33.241.5, is registered to United States Senate and may be shared by multiple users of a government agency or facility. If the agency or facility uses proxy servers, this IP address may represent many users at many personal computers or devices."

That's fairly hilarious lol.

I wouldn't be surprised it was one of our veritable lich-like senators that doesn't understand the internet and likely believes there is no one monitoring Wikipedia and anyone can post anything onto it's articles.

The best part is these are the same people that thought SOPA was just fuckin' dandy. Until the public backlash and they suddenly 180'd and pretended they were just as appalled of it as the general population was.

This. There's no proof is was more than one person and of course you're going to have some immature people in a group as large as the Senate.

i bet it was palpatine.

The only reason I can see for Wikipedia to do this is to show their deference to the rabid internet mob. Snowden is a traitor, not a whistleblower - whistleblowers have the slightest idea about the nature of the content they release, he just unleashed a torrent of digital diarrhoea without bothering to check who it might hurt, happy to condemn the good with the bad. I hope he's finding that transit lounge comfortable, because he's not likely to soon enjoy the privileges of comfort and convenience afforded by the society he dim-wittedly attempts to undermine. Don't canonise this simpleton, he's a stupid, naive whelp not even worth the consideration of contempt.

Not directly. The immaturity level points to ...

Him!

Actually he left the transit lounge, I think it was two days ago. He's now chilling in Russia, which is probably a lot better for him than the US. Deal with it ^^

Here I thought that he dissolved the Imperial Senate, permanently?

[LilSaihah]

Isn't this the kind of shit we laugh at North Korea for trying to do?
