    I think they did a pretty decent job censoring those names? I can’t figure out any of them and I really tried, tbh.

      Putting three instances of names as layers on top of each other with transparency effect already uncovers a large part of the most common name there, so I definitely disagree.

      If you know the exact typeface and font size used, you can just try to put letters top of the image to guess them as well (so you try to match parts of the letter with one exact character to be precise). And I am pretty sure there are some tools that make this even easier (or at least made internally by some U.S. security agencies :) ).

        I mean… ain’t nobody got time for that? But I got your points.

        If it’s a classified documents, then it’s a horrible job. But for an internet shit post, it’s decent.

        You can even argue that with generative AI, it could figured the name in mere milliseconds. But then again, for a internet shit post, ain’t nobody got time for that?
