Censor bars
Censor bars (or boxes) are a basic form of text, photography, and video[1] censorship in which "sensitive" information or images are occluded by black, gray, or even white rectangular boxes. These bars have been used to censor various parts of images.[2][3] Since the creation of digital editing software which can apply less obtrusive effects such as pixelization and blurring, censor bars are usually only used for satirical purposes.[4][5][6]
