"Keeping" a site requires you to spend a lot of time and effort reviewing it. You may decide, depending on the nature of the site, that it is perfectly acceptable to throw it away or rebuild it. Perhaps the needs of the site have shifted and you were planning to rebuild it already. Perhaps it was for an event that has come and gone and you can make a static copy or just delete it all.

replace all redacted text with REDACTED, reflow the entire document

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:

you'll get complaints from people asking you to define exactly what "reflow" means, and you'll get complaints that it doesn't look nearly as cool as a redacted document should, although the latter will be hidden by every imaginable pretext

redleader posted:

replace the redacted text with a random selection of different words, then redact that

i'm sure i remember an objection coming up to that on kinda weird legal/philosophical grounds, that by editing the document the document is not, legally, the document that is supposed to be released, which is why this still happens with electronic documents, but i can't remember if that was an official reason or someone just being Smart On The Internet.

yeah idk it seems like the point of FOIA is to get the actual documents, or as close to them as you can, and just snipping out the information and re-typing it seems a bit less, idk, accountable? at the very least it adds another step where things can be intentionally or unintentionally omitted or changed

it also changes page references and so forth

You're getting the document for it's textual information, not its layout. You're already changing it by placing black squares in place of words so that readers cannot see what those words are, changing the shape of those black boxes is a totally reasonable additional step. This is a Gold Fringe On The Flag kind of argument. Either you refuse redaction at all, or you accept that the document has changed from the source in at least some minimal way no matter what.

Modern word processors can update all of the page references with the press of a button. If you're comparing redacted to unredacted reports (when? why?) reference the section information and paragraph number.

CIA Director Porter Goss has ordered further internal investigation.

"Why did it go on for this long, and this far?" said Goss in a press conference called shortly after the report's release. "I'm as frustrated as anyone. You can't read a single thing that's been highlighted. Had I been there to advise [former CIA director] Allen Dulles, I would have suggested the traditional yellow color—or pink."

Goss added: "There was probably some really, really important information in these documents."

When asked by a reporter if the black ink was meant to intentionally obscure, Goss countered, "Good God, why?"

you're getting the document to get the document. not just the text, the whole thing, because context and hell even formatting can be very important. redaction needs to be the minimum required to adequately hide whatever needs to be hidden without affecting anything else, not just the text

just got my first email about a website not being accessible from russia

TSB has apologised, again, as customers complain of problems with their mobile and online accounts, including claims some had "access" to other people's bank details.

One customer said he could see other people's accounts totalling more than £20,000, while another reportedly discovered he had been wrongly credited with £13,000 after logging back in.

It came several hours after the bank had warned its account holders that some of its services, including online banking, making payments or transferring money, would not be possible over the weekend because of an upgrade to I.T systems once linked to former parent firm, Lloyds.
