Because legal discovery data retrieval is almost entirely automated. You are always going to end up with some irrelevant shit in there because it matched a keyword search somebody used for discovery.

Source: I used to do this when companies I worked for got subpoenas for email data.

Yup probably because "children" and/or "child" is referenced in there

It even has a redaction!

That's hilarious. I'm guessing its a result of an auto-redacter which is set to redacts urls or something? since the original would be

--enable-largefile
Enable support for large files (http://www.sas.com/standards/large_
file/x_open.20Mar96.html) if the operating system requires special compiler
options to build programs which can access large files. This is enabled by
default, if the operating system provides large file support.

Auto redaction of dated urls maybe?

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 192d (1 reply)

there is another URL at the end of the document without redaction.

Pika@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 192d

yea I'm not sure, maybe something to do with the term SAS but yea not enough unredacted stuff to really know.

It'll have been an important question to Epstein, for very wrong reasons
