"Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here."

"Y’all know we have a tool for finding exactly these kinds of bad redactions, right?

We’ve tested it on millions of legal PDFs and it works very well at huge scale."
