      I really don’t understand lazy censoring. You can either not use the thin pen tool or just spend a few more seconds making sure it’s unreadable. What’s the point of doing it at all if people can still decipher what you’re obscuring?

        No, it’s because of how poorly obscured it is in the 5th one from the top in particular - there’s no other numbers it could be.

          Exactly, I was surprised that 989 was even a valid area code tbh, just doesn’t look right

      In general I think best practice is to call out “hey, I can see your area code in case you want to edit your post to more fully redact it” then any jokes about “since I wouldn’t want anyone to know I lived in [REDACTED] either!”
