This has happened before. Back when I used to browse the armpit of the internet there were classified military docs that had the same technique used.

    reddit is the armpit. 4chan is the unwashed taint.

    I don't think you're all of Lemmy.

    I find it funny that it took a few days for this to come out. That's the very first thing I try if I see a big black box censoring something in a PDF or webpage is highlight to see if there's text under there (practice from reading SCP Wiki and various forums with fun formatting options). Heck I randomly highlight as I read enough I'd probably even find that it was incorrectly redacted without even trying

    You can do that for SCPs!? I have been reading that forever and now I feel dumb

    Only some - default is just black boxes. I remember at least one where the redactions were removed on click per word.

    Yeah, but not marked as spoilers - but it was integrated into the story. sadly i can't remember which SCP it was, i am pretty sure it was in Series 4 (so somewhere between 3000 and 4000). I am reading SCPs on and off again, and am currently around scp 4800, so it's been a few months that i saw it.

    E: I just remembered one SCP which emulated an terminal, where you were able to remove the redactions by editing the proposed file name to open from a level 4 file to a level 5, that one was pretty cool!

    The first set (with nothing but blacked out pages) was properly redacted and in-fact contained no text data whatsoever. I think this is from the more recent files including the ones that were accidentally uploaded and pulled an hour later.
