eli5 what is the difference between censorship and redaction? when the government releases files for the public, they redact quite a bit of information. Isn’t that censorship?
In: 43
in addition to what everyone has said regarding internal vs. external – redaction is almost always Noted in the text, wherase censorship tends to be “ignored”
So a redacted document will be filled with black bars and [redacted] noticed and that kind of thing to say that there is information that they can’t fully release – and they will also tend to ensure that WHAT was redacted is clear- e.g. [expletive deleted], or [address], or replacing names with Pseudonyms.
