SCP-1059

SCP-1059 ("Infectious Censorship") is a memetic agent that compels infected individuals to redact vital information from classified or sensitive documents for seemingly no purpose. Though countered by proper teaching of classification and etiquette, it had successfully infected the National Security Agency and the SCP Foundation before being contained.
==History==
===Discovery===
Agent Jameson, an SCP Foundation agent embedded in the National Security Agency at their headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland, U.S, discovered a discrepancy with documents. They noticed that multiple documents were being classified as Top Secret for seemingly no real reason, regardless of content. Further investigation revealed the existence of a memetic agent, later classified as SCP-1059.Entry Page: 1059
=== Foundation outbreak ===
After 1059 was classified and deemed Euclid, improper handling of materials led to 1059 manifesting itself within the Foundation. This caused seventeen fatalities, due to vital information being redacted. 1059's entry in the SCiPnet database was also infected, before 1059 was contained and its entry fixed.
== Attributes==
==Containment procedures==
SCP Foundation staff infected with SCP-1059 are to be removed from duty and undergo counter-memetic therapy until there is no longer any sign of 1059 infection, before being monitored afterward for relapse. Any documents written by the infected are to be re-written by uninfected staff. Those outside the Foundation are to be given Class A amnestics, or otherwise removed, so they can no longer infect others.
== Trivia ==
*Out of universe, SCP-1059 was made based on the amount of redactions in SCP articles in the past.
