Oh dear......can we expect a knock on the door?

Just pretend you are not at home. Turn on the sprinklers. Set booby traps.

A friend says you can fairly easily edit the redacted pictures by removing the black this revealing the original.

I'm not techie savvy, so is this true?

It's appears that it's not all the redated information, just some. But it is very sad that thousands of people were paid lots of money (over time) to do these redactions, for them to do a such a poor job.
Makes you wonder if they were just looking for a certain individuals name!?!?!

You have a very suspicious mind....

Yes and no, It depends if you’ve access to the original file, I’m sure others here are much more tech savvy than I am but I’ll give my basic elementary understanding of it.  

If the redaction is a visual overlay it can be removed thru editing programs.  The proper way to make permanent redactions is to copy the original file w/redactions and use that as the original file copy then the redactions can’t be removed.  I’d be astonished if they released these files with the original redactions and not permanent redactions.  

I was just reading this last night and was going to dive into a bit more today to understand more.  Maybe I can find a better explanation or I’m sure someone here has better understanding of it than I do.  But it’s a yes and no question, they can’t always be removed.

Tech-savvy users discover a way around redacted parts of Jeffrey Epstein filesBy

“The people at Trump’s Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.”
A Justice Department source tells The Post, however, that the documents in question were merely uploaded from civil litigation and do not contain information that the government intended to conceal.

 
“These redactions originated in certain courts and were applied by parties in civil actions. DOJ simply reproduced the materials because we had collected them so they were part of the Epstein files,” the official said.
“Redactions applied by the DOJ to FBI/DOJ productions in accordance with other statutes remain fully redacted.”

Is this a false statement, “Redactions applied by the DOJ to FBI/DOJ productions in accordance with other statutes remain fully redacted.”

Apparently not, Sparky.  Pay attention in class.

Apparently not, Sparky.  Pay attention in class.

What’s the proof that shows my cited source is wrong concerning redactions from civil suits vs the actual DOJ redactions.

[WallFlowerActive]

Apparently not, Sparky.  Pay attention in class.

This is what can be read by “breaking” the redaction?

People examining documents released by the Department of Justice in the Jeffrey Epsteincase discovered that some of the file redaction can be undone with Photoshop techniques, or by simply highlighting text to paste into a word processing file.
Un-redacted text from these documents began circulating through social media on Monday evening. An exhibit in a civil case in the Virgin Islands against Darren K Indyke and Richard D Kahn, two executors of Epstein’s estate, contains redacted allegations explaining how Epstein and his associates had facilitated the sexual abuse of children. The exhibit was the second amended complaint in the state case against Indyke and Kahn.

What actual redactions carried out by the DOJ can be broken?

Hello.  Sparky… Hello..
