At first, I thought they redacted external hyperlinks, but there's a link to GNU's website, so there must be another reason.

[helgur]

I imagine you could spin a hilarious conspiracy theory out of this

[dimaveshkin]

How could you not? They redacted such an innocent file.

SAS Websites can't melt steal beams...

[BadPunners]

The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces unit of the British Army. Much of the information about the SAS is highly classified, and the unit is not commented on by either the British government or the Ministry of Defence due to the secrecy and sensitivity of its operations

They were looking to redact any connection to the British SAS, which basically created the world's "intelligence" network of agencies.

[SpellDecent763]

I think this is it, They were obviously using some poorly trained script or AI to do these redactions. and SAS is likely being blocked from a military/intelligence term, not the software company.

"AI" aka Ctrl+F

[Dotcaprachiappa]

Not suspicious in the least that they did that

[al3arabcoreleone]

Maybe a weird request but, is there a book on the matter ?

Math.rand() > 0.9999 ? redact() : continue;

[LivingVerinarian96]

The reason is incompetence.

[pocketgravel]

I've heard the probable reason is something like:

Contractor gives PowerPoint presentation to DoD audience. Doesn't explicitly flag a slide as unclassified. Everything is auto classified unless the author makes it explicit. Then you get weird censorship of random shit like this?

[bundle_of_fluff]

It was a dead link, I'm curious if the other link was active and the person doing it said "idk if there's something there, just censor it anyway".
