So my company was involved with a lawsuit that I was asked to help review files and redact information. They used a specific software that all the files were loaded into and the software performed the redactions and saved the redacted files. It really is mind blowing the government wouldn’t use a similar process.
These are the clowns that redacted the first files with MS black highlight, because DOGE cut their Adobe accounts.

Some liberal on BlueSky tried to use genAI to unmask ICE agents.
