Redaction Locations
Each row is a detected redaction overlay box with spatial coordinates.
redaction_type indicates overlay quality: bad_overlay (text layer still readable),
proper_redaction (text fully removed), white_rectangle. The hidden_text column
contains incidental text-layer fragments where overlays were improperly applied, not recovered secrets.
Methodology note:
These records were generated by scanning for black rectangles in document images, then checking the invisible OCR text layer at those coordinates.
The EFTA documents are scanned images with baked-in redaction bars — not PDF files with removable annotation overlays.
The
ocr_text column contains whatever the scanner’s OCR engine produced when it tried to read the black bar area.
Approximately 98% of these entries are garbled OCR noise, not genuine hidden text.
The viral claim that redacted text can be revealed by copy-pasting from behind black bars is not supported by the PDF structure of these files.
