So is the data extracted the names of the victims that were supposed to be hidden to protect them? Or is there something else that might be worthy of exposing?

It seems the redactions are to protect the perpetrators.
There are pages that are nothing but redacted text. It isn’t going to be a victims name copy pasted 80 times in a row…

You can't possibly know that!
(Sorry, watching Grinch, Jim Carrey spoke through me).
I'm seeing, for example, "Hyperion Air, Inc" was redacted.
Victim?
i assume the downvoters don't see the importance of the question.
The downvoters assume that it is a bad faith question. The downvoters are 99% right with that. If the 1% hit then OP is just exceedingly naive and did not followed the scandal in which case they should maybe first do some reading.
The names of involved powerful people were NOT supposed to be censored. All those names except Bill Clinton name were redacted. To protect Trump and everybody else involved in the scandal except said Bill Clinton. But especially to protect Trump.
They also obscured the male perpetrators faces and bodies in many images, illegaly.

I took the question to mean "were the easily circumvented redactions only covering victim details, and maybe suspects from Team Not-One-of-Us?" Implying the "stupidity" card was played to cover the "malice" card.
