In the wake of Parliament’s majority vote to send the controversial Protection of Information Bill to the National Council of Provinces for consideration, the ANC’s Wikipedia has suffered numerous mischievious revisions, or hacks.The information under the heading “Controversy over corrupt members” appears to have been censored, or redacted, in a style similar to a government-censored document.

Here’s a screenshot.

The revisions have since been undone, and subsequently re-instated a number of times.

Here’s a link to the censored revision.

Here’s a link to the current version.

Go satire!

[Thanks, Craig!]
