The Department of Justice redacted the face of the Mona Lisa, a 522-year-old painting of an Italian woman who died centuries ago, as part of its release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
In a PDF of an email with the subject line “simply paris” sent on July 3, 2009, a redacted sender sent Epstein several photos of, presumably, himself and a woman sightseeing in Paris. The photos of the woman are all redacted with a black box over her face, but the man’s face is visible.
The photos are from tourist locations like Disneyland Paris, the Versailles fountains, and the Louvre, where the Mona Lisa is installed. “We just walked around all over the city not just the sight seeing…we took like 1500 pictures so was really difficult to decide wich to send! :)” the sender wrote at the end of the email.

This kinda confirms to me that they used AI to do the majority of the redaction.
Reading is hard.
DOJ told 404 Media that the unredacted version of the document in question contains an image of a victim’s face overlayed on the face of the Mona Lisa image.
That’s weird that you’d believe the DOJ over any other plausible theory they’re trying to discredit.
So to prove it they need to post the picture? Dumb argument.
This is the same DOJ that we know is illegally censoring pedophiles names. Why should we belive them?
