@ -778,6 +778,23 @@ There are several APIs provided to ``GET`` events for a room:

Example:

Redactions
|
||||
----------
|
||||
Since events are extensible it is possible for malicious users and/or servers to add
|
||||
keys that are, for example offensive or illegal. Since some events cannot be simply
|
||||
deleted, e.g. membership events, we instead 'redact' events. This involves removing
|
||||
all keys from an event that are not required by the protocol. This stripped down
|
||||
event is thereafter returned anytime a client or remote server requests it.
|
||||
|
||||
Events that have been redacted include a ``redacted_because`` key whose value is the
|
||||
event that caused it to be redacted, which may include a reason.
|
||||
|
||||
Redacting an event cannot be undone, allowing server owners to delete the offending
|
||||
content from the databases.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, only room admins can redact events by sending a ``m.room.redacted`` event,
|
||||
but server admins also need to be able to redact events by a similar mechanism.
