Selecting the black blotches reveals the name. Should be using FULL BLOCK. HN doesn't allow me to include it in this comment

Of course, this comment could be seen as commentary on laws against accessing insecure intended-to-be-secret data. Blame not the author, but me, for they obviously intended the name to be omitted, & I trespassed their security when I selected the text. Lock me up




Clicking the button at the end of the article reveals the name. It's 100% intentional.


Yes, completely intentional.

The idea is that the city's name is hidden by default, but very easy to discover if you decide to do so. So you can highlight the text, click on the button at the bottom of the page, or go to the linked Wikipedia pages in the first paragraph to reveal the name of the city.
