FubarberryThey posted an update, an official statement said that a victims face was overlaid over the artwork.
So while this probably seemed ridiculous, there was a valid reason.
KalonIn a functioning government this would make sense.
Unfortunately I don’t take anything they say as fact anymore.
I take this as an admission that this was done by AI.
They also retract a lot of “don’t” because it’s awfully close to donald t
DiplomjodlerNope it seems there was someone else’s face overlayed on Mona Lisa’s face and that’s why they redacted it.

This kinda confirms to me that they used AI to do the majority of the redaction.
Reading is hard.
DOJ told 404 Media that the unredacted version of the document in question contains an image of a victim’s face overlayed on the face of the Mona Lisa image.
I don’t belive them. I have no reason to belive them.
This is just such a weird thing to call out as a lie. Pretty sure you’re only doing it so you can validate your snap conclusion. Why would they lie about this? Its not like it makes them look better; pasting some victim’s face over a revered piece of artwork so they can pervertedly leer at both simultaneously is not projecting the image they want. Maybe stick to calling out consequential, evident lies.
Why would they lie about this?
To hide the fact that the redactions are decided by AI and the files could have been released months ago.
But, like, this one specifically. There are a hundred better examples you could point to for this. Earlier I saw a headline that there are censored random words like “and” or even “I.” But claiming they lied about there being a real person’s face on there is just self serving.

Because it is a ridiculous example that is highly memeable. DoJ was so lazy they even censored the most famous face in the world.

Trust in justice is so low that we don’t believe their explanation for censorship. There is no serving of self in that statement.
That’s weird that you’d believe the DOJ over any other plausible theory they’re trying to discredit.
So to prove it they need to post the picture? Dumb argument.
This is the same DOJ that we know is illegally censoring pedophiles names. Why should we belive them?
the Mona Lisa, a 522-year-old painting of an Italian woman
Damn. I remember when that was brand new, and everyone was talking about it. In modern times, I believe the kids today would call it a “sick meme”.
We didn’t use such words back then. We called it “art”.
Now you got all these yolkels hosting what they call “renaissance fairs”, but they completely missed the point of them. It wasn’t a festival. It was just a typical tuesday at the market! I like going to these renaissance fairs for the nostolgia, but they don’t actually sell usefull goods or services. Instead they set up a “gift shop”. Ugh. I just want to buy a decapitated head of a lamb, and a rack of ribs. Why do I have to go to your air conditioned big box grocery stores to do it? I want to buy it off the wooden cart of a traveling salesmen like it was INTENDED GOD DAMMIT!

Who knows if that’s really the case, but it wouldn’t really surprise me, either, knowing how weird some of the other pictures are.
It is plausible, but since they claimed it, then I have to assume it is lie.
Wasn’t there also some picture that hung on the wall of Bill Clinton superimposed on some other painting?
I’m becoming even more convinced they used shitty LLMs to do the vast majority of the redactions at this point
Wait until you see the page that redacted the word “don’t”. As in, “Don T.” Why would that be a term they targeted??
Lmfao that is so fucking blatantly obvious, holy shit
Edit: this is like the easy mode version of how Facebook tracks you by the trackers your browser doesn’t engage with if you don’t have an account. Holy fuck. There’s a part of me that wants to believe the people doing this couldn’t possibly be this stupid, but then I remember the mental caliber of everyone running the show these days.
This should honestly be a news story in itself. Absolutely no possible justification for redacting the word “don’t”. No human would have made that redaction. This had to have been done in an automated fashion, specifically to react references to Trump.
Apparently DoJ doesn’t care about the victims. For them, the Epstein files are some sort of joke.
They’ve never cared about the victims. I can’t imagine why that would change with President Pedophile at the helm.
A photo we’re assuming is the Mona Lisa!
yeah, could have just as easily been another painting of Bill Clinton
Let’s be honest, at this point AI probably did all the reactions which would explain a lot lol.
It only doesn’t explain why it’s taking them so long to give them to us…
Mona Lisa? Or trump in drag waiting for rudy to show up.
