So every other child rapist's name gets redacted but they can't even do a scan for passwords?

    They were so busy hunting for the rapists they completely forgot about passwords......or we've got some decent folks weaponizing "incompetence"

    I'm convinced they used AI to redact everything, and didn't double back and check them until after a particular page made headlines.

    I've seen numerous videos where they program a script to remove the 5-6 different ways "redactions" were added and they make no sense from a technical stand point, leaving me to believe that someone non-technical told AI exactly how they wanted to redact, and then put those files in their outbox.

    Apparently the word “don’t” can also be found redacted.

    Because they did a regex for Don(.)T and didn’t bother to check

    They did bother to check, they are just sloppy. It seems like it's more that one slipped through the cracks. There are plenty of unredacted "don t" in the files. Looks like they did blanket redactions of "Don T" (and other Trump related names) and then went through manually and unredacted false positives to cover their tracks. But they missed one. It's still a smoking gun, though, as there's literally no reason to redact "don t".
