US Congress Blocked from Editing Wikipedia, Again

Earlier this summer, Wikipedia blocked congressional computers from editing pages on the site for 10 days. This week brought news of yet another ban, thanks to controversial edits made from an IP address associated with the House.

Recently, users with the House-associated IP address have been making changes on various Wikipedia pages relating to transgender people, reports The Hill. The ban was instituted after someone edited the “Orange is the New Black” page from “‘Orange Is the New Black’ contains the first ever women-in-prison narrative to be played by a real transgender woman,” to “‘Orange Is the New Black’ contains the first ever women-in-prison narrative to be played by a real man pretending to be a woman.”
