It could have been incompetence, yes... Or it could have been someone who knew this would slip by the Trump loyalists and end up getting published.

[-] leftist_lawyer@lemmy.today 24 points 5 months ago

True enough. I waffle between good intention and incompetence.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Both things could be true at once.

But it's far more likely they're all just that stupid.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Ah yes, the famously super-competent FBI directed by political loyalists who's only qualifications are heavy plastic surgery and blind faith in an evil idiot.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

Oh I get it because they're stupid

[-] Ch3rry314@piefed.social 10 points 5 months ago

If anyone like me was looking for proof this is actually possible in the files:

Broe's video showed him copying several paragraphs from one document in the DOJ's Epstein library/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf) from the "Court Records" section. While the paragraph Broe selected includes several redactions, all of the redactions were removed after Broe pasted the paragraph in question into a Word document. AlterNet was able to confirm that that specific document's redactions could be read in Word, as well as in Mac's Pages application and in Google Docs.

bad apple FBI redactions

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

[-] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

There is a non negligible chance that some of this was done on purpose.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Maybe they are not stupid. Maybe some junior analyst don't agree with this so they left like that on purpose

[-] NeonNight@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It might be a choreographed “gotcha” too. Like they intentionally made the documents like that so people would think they found out The Big Secret and stop pushing for other files that could still be completely hidden. Idk though, it also seems really generous to think this administration could do anything that smart.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

What additional information could be worst than what everyone already know. The peoblem in america today is not lack of proof or knowledge

[-] m0darn@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I was wondering that too, fake redaction on false allegations and unverifiable allegations, real redaction on allegations that can be corroborated.

[-] PenguinJazz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Maybe a mix of both. Spite and stupidity is a deadly combo

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

This is a really important part of the CIA guide to sabotaging Fascism. https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

Don't encourage good people to quit.

[-] yobasari@feddit.org 0 points 5 months ago

A single junior analyst causing such a breach of redacted information would still point towards incompetence on an organisational level. This should really be something every person who works in publishing documents with redacted informations should be trained to spot.

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

Maybe they print it to check it 🤔

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

oh you would be so so surprised by the things I saw as a cybersecurity auditor

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

this is how I feel when I was on the FBI page and saw the now deleted trump photo before they deleted it. Surreal experience.

that was my "what radicalized me" moment

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

If you are talking about the photo of the photos in EFTA00000468.pdf, that’s back online.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago

Working IT, it's impressive how many people don't understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C'mon…

For those who don't know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.

Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

[-] zikzak025@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Even young people who grew up with technology.

There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.

By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I got out of tech because I assumed Gen Z would be way better at it than I was.

I got back in when I realized, I was one of the generation that actually knows this shit, without having a CS degree even.

[-] HarmlessCake@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

You got a Counter Strike degree which taught you all the basics

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

I mean DOGE hired dozens of high school and college students running amok with AI in critical systems. It was a pretty coordinated attempt at culling professionals.
