I am in no way a republican apologist, but how many people were clamoring for the immediate releasing these documents, saying it "should be easy" and all that? Laws were passed ordering their sudden speedy disclosure. How would you have handled this?

On one hand, the DOJ gets shit because it was taking too long to produce the documents, and then on another, they get shit because there are mistakes in the redacting because there are 3 million pages of documents.

Government is bad at stuff, and more news at 11

Mighty be they censored all pages mentioning keywords, this one says "Breast" ... perhaps they censored all sexual content?

At the risk of repeating myself. Which begs the question why?

To protect the people in power, as always.

More than that. CSAM is evidence of abuse. Hence the "A". And nudity is not required.

CSAM has a meaning identical to child porn but doesn't make that meaning explicit. Drawn or generated depictions of child nudity can be considered CSAM in some jurisdictions.

"CSAM isn’t pornography—it’s evidence of criminal exploitation of kids."

That's from RAINN, the US's largest anti-sexual violence organisation.

here's another few to decode, https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01804... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA007755... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA004349... and than this one judging by the name of the file (hanna something) and content of the email: "Here is my girl, sweet sparkling Hanna=E2=80=A6! I am sure she is on Skype " maybe more sinister (so be…

Geezus, with the short CV in your profile, you couldn't tell an LLM to decode "filename=utf-8"CV%5F%5F%5FHanna%5FTr%C3%A4ff%5F.pdf"? That's not "Bouveng". Anyway searching for the email sender's name, there's a screenshot of an email of hers in English offering him a girl as an assistant who is "in top physical shape" (probably not this Hanna girl). That's fucking creepy: https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/varlden/epst…

not sure how I missed the url encoding. yea, fuck not sure I want to decode that PDF, and their's a high probability that that's a victims name.

Wonder why there's so many random case files in the files.

Released all files as is, no redactions.

I'm lucky to have parents with strong values. My whole life they've given me advice, on the small stuff and the big decisions. I didn't always want to hear it when I was younger, but now in my late thirties, I'm really glad they kept sharing it. In hidhsight I can see the life-experience / wisdom in it, and how it's helped and shaped me.

At this point you're taking a piss, this is not a honest discussion stance. Judges themselves complained about their own orders being ivolated/ignored. Repeatedly.

> you're taking a piss "You are taking a piss" -- you are currently urinating. "You are taking the piss" -- you are mocking me or this.

Thank you. Sadly can't edit it anymore but I'll remember it next time.

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

It's hilariously revealing that it keeps redacting "Don't".

Odd indeed. The President's name contains no apostrophe :)

Honestly, this is something that should've been kept private, until each and every single one of the files is out in the open. Sure, mistakes are being made, but if you blast them onto the internet, they WILL eventually get fixed. Cool article, however.

Won't that entire DOJ archive already be downloaded for backup by several people? If I'd be a journalist working on those files, this is the very first thing I would do as soon as those files were published. Just to make sure you have the originals before DOJ can start adding more redactions.
