Unredacting Pixelated Text

I assume that pixelation is chosen to give an impression of a text. That is, the fact that it is a string of characters with a given length.

So, the prudent way to do it is to first generate a random character string of the same length and then pixelate that string.

Or just replace it with Lorem ipsum.

Btw, the same approach might be successful with badly pixelated faces in video.

Depixelation seem to be a well studied art in Japanese Adult Video. Occasionally, I hear about people getting arrested for it.
