Actually there’s dozens of really good free / open source apps that can do that. Let’s face it, forgetting to flatten the edited version is not a technical problem. It’s a laziness one.
Or its malicious compliance
One of the few communities I miss on reddit...
Its still there but is a shadow of what it used to be. Lots of AI karma farming submissions.
It turned into a suspended disbelief creative writing exercise sub long before bots were it's main problem. It was "I hate my Boss/Partner NoSleep"
More likely ignorance or incompetence instead of laziness
is sleep deprivation ignorance, incompetence or laziness?
More so on management's end, but yes.
Yes
Skill issue.
Yeah I'm not sure, but haven't spent any time really looking through them. I've seen some images that were clearly scanned and the size reduced so you couldnt read words in the image you'd think they would have scanned the redacted files as well to the same PDF dump or whatever, which had they done would have flattened them. To me it seems more of a we "properly" redacted and covered up files for some people, and we didn't care as much about others. Whether or not they were trying to allow for those people to be "accidentally" found is a possibility, but who knows
Yeah, but you need to onboard those and run them through IT due dilligence. That is annoying in the best companies - i would not want to procure a new Software tool in a gouvernement setting.
It’s unpleasant to get any software approved in the government
Could be sabotage
You mean screenshot and paint right?
Maybe someone intentionally poorly censored it. This problem is so easy to avoid.
A lot of open source applications can't be used by government agencies because the pedigree of the software can't be verified, so you can't be sure foreign entities didn't add any code.
But really there's a million ways to do this - even whatever application they used would have been fine if they simply printed out the redacted files and rescanned them.
