It counts if it is black i guess
Guys. This is called resistance. These people are govt employees. We go through literally yearly training on maintaining classified documents. This wasn’t gross incompetence, it was fucking intentional. They knew they could do it because they knew leadership was too fucking stupid to check it properly. Believe it or not the govt is largely run by people, just like you and I. We are doing what we can where we can.
This is going to look obvious in hindsight but perhaps people should have kept this to themselves until every single Epstein file had been released. Because now the DOJ is just going to do their best to fix the problem.
Not that that saying much these guys are the fucking keystone cops.
I think there were probably several people that found this before that didn’t say anything for this reason.
I posted it on here because once it’s trending on TikTok and Bsky that ship has sailed
Yeah, I wasn’t specifically referring to you. I just meant that people in general who’ve discovered this exploit maybe should have collectively kept it to themselves.
If only. This is why I always laugh at the conspiracy theories that involve more than like 10 people, like all the scientists fabricating global warming. Humans are terrible at keeping secrets.
And if you watch the original keystone cops they will look damn competent compared to these guys.
Max Senate. /s
I choose to believe that the people who did this aren’t idiots, but heroes.
Yeah, that much is obvious.
we’re all so blessed that autocracy is so stupid
How the hell can they not have learned from the countless times this has happened before?
They work only with the best. Musk fired the other ones.
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.
Before:
After: (in notepad)
Not all of them are like this. At least one isn’t.
I really hope this is malicious compliance and not incompetence…
could be elaborated planted evidence
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 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.
Actually that guy is all of Lemmy, the rest of us are a hive mind. Blorp blurrp
Blorp blurrp
I mean…the left nut, no?
I’ll see myself out.
Actually in Europe it would be considered the center nut.
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.
Lots of people on social media hide sensitive information with 90% opacity highlighter.
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
grandfather is python2
Grandfather is ABC, dad is python2
Grandfather is 5-bit opcodes on switches
Uphill both ways
Shame this fuck-up only happened in some of the pages.
Malicious compliance on the part of some DOJ intern maybe?
That would imply that they are good people
I dunno, I feel like an intern might not be as dogmatic as a political appointee.
“REDACT THESE DOCUMENTS TO PROTECT DEAR LEADER!!”
“Man, I just need college credit so that I can get a job in this terrible economy…”
We needed to be quiet about this until they released all the tranches so that they’re all readable but nooo someone had to go and tweet about it.
There is nothing trumps admin can’t fuck up. Its actually impressive.
