Why and how is the data from DDoSecrets redacted?

Do you have a page about each dataset you're sourcing and the background on them like your provide here?

The "EFTA00000468" saga has me distrusting the authenticity of most of these datasets.

Re: the DOJ emails prefixed with "EFTA", I have no idea how over-redacted they are. They definitely seem dubious though.

Re: the DDoSecrets emails though (YAHOO dataset), I have more to share.

Drop Site News agreed to give us access to the Yahoo dataset discovered by DDoSecrets, but on the condition that we help redact it. It's a completely unfiltered dataset. It's literally just .eml files for jeeprojects@yahoo.com. It includes many attached documents. There is no illegal imagery, but it has photos of Epstein's extended family (nephews, nieces, etc) and headshots of many models that Epstein's executive assistant would send to him. I was quite shocked that this thing existed.

We built some internal redaction tools that the Drop Site team is now using to comb through all of this. We've released 5 batches of the Yahoo mail now, with the 1k+ Amazon receipts being the most recent.

A few thoughts on how we do redaction are here: https://www.jmail.world/about.

Unlike the DOJ, we've tried to minimize the ambiguity about what was redacted.

For example: all redacted images are replaced with a Gemini-generated description of that photograph.

Another example: we are aggressively redacting email addresses and phone numbers of normal people to avoid spamming them. Perhaps others would leave it all in, but Riley and I don't want to be responsible for these people's lives getting disrupted by this entire saga. For example, we redacted this guy's email but not his name: https://www.jmail.world/thread/4accfb5f3ed84656e9762740081a4...

Riley and I were not expecting this type of scope when we first dropped Jmail. Jmail is an interesting side project for us, and this new dataset requires full-time attention. Thankfully we have help though. We're happy to take on this responsibility given how helpful, thoughtful and careful both the Drop Site and DDoSecrets team has been here.

I appreciate the links and transparency. Answers a lot of my questions. Thanks
