I feel like I’m missing something. I get why you blacked out the address of the gas station. I think it’s overkill. But, I could see some doxxer trying some shit I’m not thinking of.
What I don’t understand is why bother blacking out the last 4 of the credit card? It’s long since expired, and without the other 12 digits, there’s no way to trace it back to you even if it worked.
it’s just data sanitization. there may be other datasets tying OP to the former last-4-digits. it’s still (sort of) personally identifiable even if it’s defunct.
