Redaction

Redaction is the permanent removal of protected text from a document before it is disclosed or filed.

The failure mode is famous: a black rectangle drawn over text that is still selectable underneath. A redaction that can be undone by copy and paste is not a redaction.

Anything that removes text has to remove it from the file itself, not from the way the file is displayed.
