Initially under "Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R.4405)" on https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures, all datasets had .zip links. I first saw that page when all but dataset 11 (or 10) had a .zip link. At one point this morning, all the .zip links were removed, now it seems like most are back again.

Are they being removed or replaced with more heavily redacted documents? There were definitely some victim names that slipped through the cracks that have since been redacted.

I think some of the released documents included images of victims, which where redacted. So it's not necessarily malicious removals

  That's my understanding too, so archiving the unredacted images could mean holding CSAM.

    Which is of course very convenient for the government, similar to when wikileaks got prosecuted for holding state secrets.

  If we're assuming they didn't leave victims unredacted on purpose

    Pretty devious tactic if so. Chilling effect on both any further witnesses and anybody interested in archiving the data (gives them an ethical conundrum at least). In addition to giving them (the feds) a convenient excuse to take down random docs.

      Not about a ethical conondrum when rehosting. Anyone who rehosts the whole files can be accused of hosting child porn and doxxing and taken down.

        Very convenient for Epstein and his associates

    Looking at examples it looks way more like incompetence.

Reddit is also removing and shadowbannig such posts, but there's a community on https://lemmy.world/post/42440468 https://lemmy.world/post/42440468

  What interest would Reddit have in suppressing the backup of official, public, government document releases?

    Quite a lot of individual subreddit moderators are Trump supporters. Or the site itself has a very over-broad view of what constitutes "doxing".

      Perhaps a few subreddits are pro-Trump, but Reddit is well known to be very left leaning on the whole.
