I thought this was just gonna be made up, but it’s true!!!
Go to this document and look for the text “Defendants Kahn and Indyke controlled and directed the activities of the other entities and personal bank accounts of Epstein” so you can get to the part with redactions.
Copy the redactions with Ctrl + C. Paste the redactions into either Notepad or another text editor that doesn’t support advanced formatting like highlights.

After: (in notepad)
I wonder if this was intentional? Maybe the FBI agent assigned to this file knew the whole censor thing was a huge fiasco and simply did this.
Deep down, I sincerely hope that it’s malicious compliance in favor of getting the truth out.
That said, I absolutely will cop to dangerous blood-levels of copium here. Living in a kakistocracy so completely top-to-bottom incompetent as to do this by accident, is a level of peril that I’m not equipped to handle right now.
There is nothing trumps admin can’t fuck up. Its actually impressive.
Also, I wonder if you can use brute force for a lot of name reductions. You know, have a list of highly suspicious names, set the same font and size of the surrounding text, and try to see if it fits in the black box.
Yes yes you can let’s spin up the old ml machine and a copy of python3 just like our grandfather’s did
Uphill both ways
teacher here. I blacked out words in a text for some test. kid held it up to the light. could read every word. was a pdf made in word.
You can compare some of the redactions here
The referenced video.
This has happened before. Back when I used to browse the armpit of the internet there were classified military docs that had the same technique used.
I find it funny that it took a few days for this to come out. That’s the very first thing I try if I see a big black box censoring something in a PDF or webpage is highlight to see if there’s text under there (practice from reading SCP Wiki and various forums with fun formatting options). Heck I randomly highlight as I read enough I’d probably even find that it was incorrectly redacted without even trying
You can do that for SCPs!? I have been reading that forever and now I feel dumb
Only some - default is just black boxes. I remember at least one where the redactions were removed on click per word.
I honestly could be misremembering. I swear I remember seeing somewhere that fake redacted stuff for flavoring/humor
I called it. Last week I said this :
I’m hoping for the old “it looks black until you select the text in the PDF” snafu.
reddit is the armpit. 4chan is the unwashed taint.
So that makes Lemmy what? The smeggy bellend?
Only when you show up
Huh, guess we don’t do self deprecation
I don’t think you’re all of Lemmy.
Not all of them are like this. At least one isn’t.
Still
Yeah…
I should have gotten all the files when they first came out. Is there an archive somewhere? All I’ve looked at is the one file that was changed to black out trump sucking the nipples of an underage person. That one had the text data replaced with a “-” for each block.
Whaaaaaaa? I’ve never heard of this.

Thanks, but I’m sorry I asked:
What page is this? Or how can I verify it’s real?
I tried googling for it the other day but couldn’t find anything
Edit: did a bit of research. This was originally released unredacted in 2024 I think. https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 115-cv-07433 (S.D.N.Y. 2015)/1332-16.pdf
Can’t find the partially redacted version but the Epstein files are hard to search
That reminds me of my marathon days.
There’s JMail which shows you his emails as of you’re logged into his account. It also has other pages with files, photos, and even his Amazon purchase history.
There’s several pages that are just completely black that it’s like they drew a big black square with paint or they just copy pasted the same page probably
they drew a big black square with paint
I have insider knowledge that that’s exactly how this image was made. [OC] please share it because I think the format is funny and would love to see it catch on
Nerd Reich
That’s disparaging to actual nerds.
