77 pages that were unredacted
Also the blacked out stuff you can just select in pdf viewer and copy paste into another text document to read it. That redaction process is useless.
Some of it, not all of it.
I found tonsssss of files this didn’t work on.
It’s pretty inconsistent across the board
Depends on if they just used a pdf tool that draws a black shape over the text or one that does a replacement. But I meant the recent leaked file, the blackouts are just shapes over text.
I hate that I, an anarchist, was a better shady government operative than these people on my first day of high school.
There are four separate layers to this:
- Distributing leaked government documents is illegal, these redacted documents being unredacted legally is a leak
- All personally identifiable information and actually classified information is still redacted, any information to my best knowledge (not a lawyer btw) is within the boundaries of H.R. 4405 (aka Epstein files transparency act).
- It is still possible that the information is still legally classified however since its now effectively public it might be used by a future legal case against the admin for violating H.R. 4405, in such a case these and other yet to be unredacted files could be legally unredacted.
- Regardless of the actual legal status of these documents the person who originally uploaded these “leaked” files is likely going to face trial before a sham court. Remember, there is no such thing as rule of law anymore only rule by law and even lawyers are saying that now. As an individual the chances of getting punished for reading or distributing these files is slim unless you are a significant public facing person.
(I am not a lawyer this is not legal advice)
Eh, it helps me a layman get a rough idea of something I am way too uneducated to have a sound opinion on. So I appreciate you breaking it down.
Idk, idc, but it’s on my phone now, and if it were a torrent, I would be seeding that SoB for the rest of my life.
No.
But fascists don’t follow law anyways.
