So stupid it takes them 3 hours to watch “60 Minutes!" So they take it off the air.

Maybe they are not stupid. Maybe some junior analyst don’t agree with this so they left like that on purpose
It might be a choreographed “gotcha” too. Like they intentionally made the documents like that so people would think they found out The Big Secret and stop pushing for other files that could still be completely hidden. Idk though, it also seems really generous to think this administration could do anything that smart.
I was wondering that too, fake redaction on false allegations and unverifiable allegations, real redaction on allegations that can be corroborated.
What additional information could be worst than what everyone already know. The peoblem in america today is not lack of proof or knowledge
This is a really important part of the CIA guide to sabotaging Fascism. https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf
Don’t encourage good people to quit.
Maybe a mix of both. Spite and stupidity is a deadly combo
bad apple FBI redactions
Is there any archived version of these files somewhere?
There is a non negligible chance that some of this was done on purpose.
True that. We can hope there’s an insider doing the right thing. But, we are dealing with the Trump admin that sent a lot of institutional knowledge packing. Instant karma gonna getcha.
I was wondering that too.
Oooh, those hackers who crtl-c ctrl-v are so damn smart!
It’s possible that the right people in the administrator wanted to “redact” them like this.

My humble yuletide shitpost. It’s the giving season, don’t you know?
It’s great :>

IIT: People who think they’re oh so smart.
Also ITT: Those same people thinking Trump personally hired the people redacting the files.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
This is the crazy thing. This is some kind of invocation of Poe’s Law around Hanlon’s Razor. I want to believe this is someone on the inside resisting, but we’ve already seen so many examples of this administration’s gross incompetence that I don’t feel certain of that. It’s this real incompetence? Or resistance as a parody of that incompetence?
Nothing will happen.
c’mon man don’t be a chud. If everyone expects nothing to happen nothing will. If everyone calls for something to happen there’s a higher chance it will
Back in my days, it was only ID10T. The s is new >_<
If anyone like me was looking for proof this is actually possible in the files:
Broe’s video showed him copying several paragraphs from one document in the DOJ’s Epstein library/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf) from the “Court Records” section. While the paragraph Broe selected includes several redactions, all of the redactions were removed after Broe pasted the paragraph in question into a Word document. AlterNet was able to confirm that that specific document’s redactions could be read in Word, as well as in Mac’s Pages application and in Google Docs.

Working IT, it’s impressive how many people don’t understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C’mon…
For those who don’t know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.
Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.
Layer 8 issue.
I get this reference.
I mean DOGE hired dozens of high school and college students running amok with AI in critical systems. It was a pretty coordinated attempt at culling professionals.
Even young people who grew up with technology.
There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.
By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.
I got out of tech because I assumed Gen Z would be way better at it than I was.
I got back in when I realized, I was one of the generation that actually knows this shit, without having a CS degree even.
You got a Counter Strike degree which taught you all the basics
if they find out nothing will be released. just pretend you’re upset and it will continue happening. give them enough rope to hang themselves.
