decensor
Lift content bans
To decensor is to remove censorship from something—restoring obscured content to its original, uncensored state.
The term appears most often in digital contexts: decensoring images, video games, or documents that have been blurred, pixelated, or redacted.
Fans released a patch to decensor the Japanese version of the game.
The word implies reversal of deliberate suppression.
