People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Propaganda i guess, the evidence for incompetence has been right there for decades and it keeps getting easier to find.
To be fair it’s genuinely a super common mistake. I see redacted documents often at work (I do nothing fancy, just some privacy policy thing we deal with) and on like 30% of the documents we get you can either just highlight the underlying text or literally click and drag the black box off of the words lol.
I guess what happens is people can redact it such that they can no longer see it in their particular pdf software but then a different software can bypass it
That's pretty charitable. I've worked civil service many years ago and the computer skills of some of them were beyond laughable. I never dealt with redacted documents during that stint of my life but I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone "redacted" a document by making the text and background highlight color black and posting the Word
docxfile online.It's a mistake you can expect interns to make, Feds should do better. They've pulled this same stunt many times before. And considering Trump ordered the entire FBI to work on this, one would think they'd do it properly.
