Hi, one of the creators here!

You might also like to check out an example of the image pages that people share [0]. We're really looking forward to getting some feedback from HN and are happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Is there an option to mark specific parts of the image for redaction, beyond what is autodetected? I assume the system can't recognize some forms of identifiable information e.g. addressees or phone numbers

At the moment there is only the auto-detection. A "custom" option is on the top of our to-do-list but we want to gauge the amount of interest in the product before we invest too much more time.

The examples don't make it clear if this redacts names linked within comments. Could you clarify?

It does redact names linked within comments. It even redacts names in the comments that aren't links as long as they belong to people who posted in the thread.

Awesome, brilliant idea and very well executed it seems

Who would buy a print of a FB post?

I assume she did not buy it though. On top of that, she is probably a bit older and thus would not fall into the demographics of this website, which is targeted to people who share stupid/funny FB posts with the need to censor them.
