This would be funnier if it wasn’t child porn being unredacted by our government

    I can't believe what we've become.

      Every second of my political consciousness in the United States has been acutely tinged with the awareness that a bunch of people, across most of the political spectrum live in a constant state of denial. Denial of personal responsibility or culpability. Denial of cognitive dissonance. Denial of any distinct, self-informed morals. Denial of anything but a fear of others. Denial of anything that makes them fearful or uncomfortable or might invite confrontation.

      I've known from the second I started doing debate and FX/DX in highschool, well, let's just say I never thought that the majority of the 2FA-folks would be worth a damn when tyranny really came knocking. Fear of the other as a form of manipulation, and a distraction from class consciousness, has been their literal raison d'état since decades before I was born.

      I guess I was shocked that the President being a convicted rapist and documented child predator would be a bridge too far. But then we re-elected him.

      I believe it. We voted for this. We do nothing in the face of zero actual justice. This is exactly as good as we deserve. And best of all, it certainly doesn't stop here. This is what they chose to not redact. When we know they spent enormous tax-payer hundreds-of-people hours redacting the documents.

      I don't think it's even conspiratorial to say they left stuff in, so they could use it as justification for not releasing the other HALF of the files that haven't been released, even overly censored.

      We deserve this, and the much worse that our apathy has invited.

I wonder if this could be intentional. If the datasets are contaminated with CSAM, anybody with a copy is liable to be arrested for possession.

More likely it's just an oversight, but it could also be CYA for dragging their feet, like "you rushed us, and look at these victims you've retraumatized". There are software solutions to find nudity and they're quite effective.

    Or it's distraction. Leave nudity in to use up attention that should be turning to analysis of what's been redacted.

    There's redaction to protect victims and there's redaction to protect specific co-conspirators in Epstein's spy ring

the issue is that mistakes can't be fixed in the sense once they are discovered, it doesn't matter if they are eventually redacted

Let's see her sued for leaking PII. Here in Europe, she'd be mincemeat.

    The US administration is, at present, regularly violating the law and ignoring court orders. Indeed, these very releases are patently in violation of multiple federal laws -- they're simultaneously insufficiently-responsive to meet the requirements of the law requiring the release of the files and fall afoul of CSAM laws by being incompletely redacted.

    The challenge, as we're all experiencing together, is that the law is not inherently self-enforcing.
