It's cause they used some AI bullshit do the redactions, isn't it?

Of course, I'm still just guessing because the article that opens with "Now we know why" never actually explains why.

The article has been updated to say that the original picture has a victim's face photoshopped over the painting.

You can see that it's upright on a street somewhere.

That makes sense, but then if it was a modern photo I'd kind-of expect the background (or the whole thing) to be in colour?

So the DoJ claims.

Put a % number on how much you believe that statement.

No they explain it in the article, the redacted version has a victims have pasted over the paintings face.

The article appears to have been changed, since I read it. For one, there's now a paywall that wasn't there before.

Fellas, I'm.pretty sure that painting is public domain by now. You don't have to worry about DaVinci suing you over copyright.
