I've heard blur is not destructive. Please use a paintbrush on 100% opacity if you do this

Depends on the kind of blur. Some kinds can indeed be almost perfectly removed if you know the used blurring function, others are destructive. But, yes, don't take that chance. Always delete/paint over sensitive information.

Source: we had to do just that in a course I took a long time ago.

Ah man, I remember when they caught some pedo creep who used a non-destructive blur on the CSAM materials he produced that included his face. So satisfying.

He only spiral blurred his face... So they just did it in the opposite direction. It was beyond stupid
