hopefully someone is independently archiving all documents
my understanding is that some are being removed
Reddit is also removing and shadowbannig such posts, but there's a community on https://lemmy.world/post/42440468
What interest would Reddit have in suppressing the backup of official, public, government document releases?
FWIW https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_...
Take with a grain of salt, obviously.
Quite a lot of individual subreddit moderators are Trump supporters. Or the site itself has a very over-broad view of what constitutes "doxing".

Are they being removed or replaced with more heavily redacted documents? There were definitely some victim names that slipped through the cracks that have since been redacted.
Initially under "Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R.4405)" on https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures, all datasets had .zip links. I first saw that page when all but dataset 11 (or 10) had a .zip link. At one point this morning, all the .zip links were removed, now it seems like most are back again.
I think some of the released documents included images of victims, which where redacted. So it's not necessarily malicious removals
That's my understanding too, so archiving the unredacted images could mean holding CSAM.
Which is of course very convenient for the government, similar to when wikileaks got prosecuted for holding state secrets.
If we're assuming they didn't leave victims unredacted on purpose
Pretty devious tactic if so. Chilling effect on both any further witnesses and anybody interested in archiving the data (gives them an ethical conundrum at least). In addition to giving them (the feds) a convenient excuse to take down random docs.

Looking at examples it looks way more like incompetence.
