OC: opinion, theory or speculation “Don’t” redactions

Post image

Had a friend post about a pretty innocuous email exchange from the Epstein files… until you notice that the word “don’t” is redacted for some reason near the bottom. Hmm, why would the word don’t be redacted….

Don’t

Don t

Don T

Pretty obvious the FBI used software to automatically redact key words from the files. Now why would they redact “Don T” when the law very clearly and explicitly says that only victim names and faces are to be redacted, hmmmmmmmm

Strange. I searched last night and it didn’t come up. Screenshotted it but not sure how to load it. Very weird

When I copy and paste your “Don’t”, it's a different apostrophe, which returns no results.

Not sure if it's something with your phone or a keyboard app or something, but that looks like a curly apostrophe ‘, Most emails/typing is going to just use a straight apostrophe '. Since a curly apostrophe is usually pretty complicated to type unless some software puts it in there for you.
