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.

What am I missing?

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.
