I never understand what is the basis for redactions, legally? To protect individuals? Obviously you can’t just «redact» whatever you would not like to come out in a FOIA-type request? What’s the difference between «redaction» and «censorship» and «we don’t want the public to know this» - really? Is there a legal difference?
