Speaking of, the Lockpicking Lawyer's "Thank you" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwuEPREECXI always irked me a bit, yeah its blurred, but as can be seen, (and as was possible back then, and way before then too, recovering poor data from windowed input has been a thing for 50+ years (e.g. radio signals, scanning tools, etc), if you think about it, its a cheap way to shift costs from physical improvement to computational improvement, just have a shutter), and yet he didn't block the information out, only blurred it

To save others a click: the video is a pile of customers packages with addresses ready to send.

“It’s” are the Address lines, which are blurred instead of blacked or whited out, potentially revealing customers private information.
