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

If you think the child porn is the worst part of this mess, I’ve got news for you.

We’d all be lucky if it was just distributing child porn.

Weren’t. Subjunctive mood.

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

I'll take Hanlon’s Razor for 500, Alex.

dagi3d|24 days ago

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.

Yeah - they'll take these lessons learned for future batches of releases.
