    I don't live in USA or close to it, but the first thought I had when they released it was "what if they just put a black highlighter like in Google Docs"

    And apparently, for at least a decent portion of it, that's what they did! Crazy work. The one time I'm proud the government was incompetent.

    I shit you not, the highlighter function, which can just be undone by literally anyone with access to the original digital document that was put out. Some people already have a lot of what was redacted out, though nothing completely earth shattering yet (that I’ve see at least)

    The Epstein files that were released were supposed to be redacted/censored but someone figured out they just used a black highlighter over it so if you copy and paste it somewhere else, you can see the uncensored version

    Ceno0 (the guy who made this) is known for a forced perspective trick where he uses black bars to selectively block parts of the background; this simulates angle, closeness and action. It's practically his signature at this point.

    Here he subverts his signature trick by having heavy's "ultimate" move be him grabbing the black bars and forcing the perspective itself to damage the other guy. It's a very cool call out to himself.

    Maybe it's a 4d chess play and the "redacted" parts don't actually contain nothing related to Trump and only democrats or whatever

    I really hope they are just incompetent but since they altered the contents already (public photo of Michael Jackson as one of the proofs) there is a possibility that they modified what's written on it too before redacting
