I wonder if this could be intentional. If the datasets are contaminated with CSAM, anybody with a copy is liable to be arrested for possession.

More likely it's just an oversight, but it could also be CYA for dragging their feet, like "you rushed us, and look at these victims you've retraumatized". There are software solutions to find nudity and they're quite effective.

Or it's distraction. Leave nudity in to use up attention that should be turning to analysis of what's been redacted.

There's redaction to protect victims and there's redaction to protect specific co-conspirators in Epstein's spy ring

It's hilariously revealing that it keeps redacting "Don't".

Odd indeed. The President's name contains no apostrophe :)

The emails are bizarrely sloppy with spelling and punctuation, perhaps many usages of "don't" ended up being typed as "don t", triggering an automated find-and-replace.

The export itself is also sloppy, with characters like equal signs being added in weird places. Seems like they have it set to cast a wide and poorly set up net.

		Equals signs substituting in some places. Looks like the result of quoted printable decoding done by inept regex.
