You can see the erroneously redacted image here: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r38ne1x2mo

I know what picture we're talking about. 1) it's not the same as the Getty stock image everyone seems to mistake it for. 2) we don't know if the redaction is erroneous or intentionally misleading, but either way the non-celebrity faces were redacted even though another image of them exists in the public domain. Probably easier to just apply a blanket policy when handling all these images rather than observing edge cases.

  • The redaction is a distraction. The concern is that it is from a charity event that is seemingly unrelated to Epstein

    • If Epstein had the photo in his possession, then that would explain why it's there!

It wasn’t erroneous. The DoJ said they were redacting the faces of all non-celebrity women and children under the presumption they could be victims.
