The tool was intended to replicate highlighter pen, it was possible to choose the colour, so if you had black text you could choose black highlight and bingo your text was invisible. Simply cutting and pasting the text into any word-processing software would show the text.

The seagulls here are gigantic assholes, we have one who comes and fights with his reflection in the windows, heāll only back off if we get within a few feet of him. Iāve been mobbed at the beach, I watched one steal a guyās sandwich at the train station, and they are definitely bullies to anything smaller.

Yeah, there was an issue a while back about putting black boxes over text. But Iām referring specifically to the redaction tool in Adobe Pro. Once the redactions are applied, the redacted text is completely gone. Including any hidden metadata, and saved as a new file. Black boxes would not cut it. Any competent attorney would know that, itās extremely important. Every firm would have something that does the same thing, since most court filings are electronic now. The article has a correction that Sony didnāt directly file these docs. Which makes me wonder if this was a case of weaponized incompetence
Which definitely works if you donāt have to redact much and a court is not requiring submission of text-searchable documents. Which most do. There might be way to exploit the Adobe redaction tool but as far a I know, it isnāt common knowledge. A part of why Adobe can charge a premium for Pro

I experienced this recently. A couple months ago I was doing some historical research that involved the Fremsons. On one of their websites was a PDF newsletter I was reading through, and one of the adjacent articles referred to their system of ādegrees.ā Getting promoted through the levels and the stuff requires memorization to pass each test, and the stuff is apparently secret(?). The document also provided a link to study guides for each level, and a blanked-out password. Being the curious sort, I highlighted the blanked-out word, copied, and then pasted it into another Word document. I tried it on the document, and sure enough, it worked. All the ranks of Freemasonry, suddenly open to me.
[Also, it was a ridiculously stupid password that someone probably could have guessed in a few minutes.]
