Some redacted content in the Epstein case can be copied and restored

BlockBeats News, December 25th, according to Global Times, the U.S. Department of Justice recently released documents related to the Epstein case, with content spanning 100 pages or more being completely redacted. As reported by foreign media such as The Daily Beast on the 23rd, some social media users who reviewed the Epstein case documents made a startling discovery: parts of the redacted content could be directly restored using image processing tools like Photoshop, or even simply by selecting the text and pasting it into a word processing system to reveal it.

“So apparently, the Epstein case documents published on the U.S. Department of Justice website, you just need to highlight the redacted text, copy and paste it into another document, and you can read the concealed content,” The Daily Beast quoted a post by social platform X user Nissan to disclose.
