My favorite part is how incompetent they were in handling the redaction:

"But when the Kentucky AG’s office was preparing to post their brief against TikTok, whoever was in charge of doing the redaction simply covered the relevant text with black rectangles. Even though you can’t see the text while reading the PDF, you can just use your cursor to select each black section, copy it, and then paste it into another file to read the hidden text. It is great fun to do this — try it yourself! Or just read our version of the brief in which we have done this for you."



I'd venture to guess this was deliberate. What would you do if you want to convince the public but can't technically share the evidence?


Hanlon's razor: "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence."
