Blurring isn't that good at destroying information, I think we mostly use it because it's the best looking censoring attempt.

I would pixelate the faces to be just 4x4 giant pixels. It destroys nearly as much information as blacking them out while still not disrupting the image too much

I would guess that pixelisation for videos rather than pictures probably reveals more information the longer the video.

Here's a good read on undoing blurs: https://yuzhikov.com/articles/BlurredImagesRestoration1.htm

The short explanation is blurs are kernels that spread a pixel's value across other pixels, so knowing this, you can treat blurred pixel values as a system of equations to solve.

If final appearance is important, just blur a bunch of pictures of Trump and paste the appropriate one over the face. Or an unblurred face for that matter.

Shit, how about just pasting Trump’s face over everyone’s and not bothering to blur it? There’s probably enough pictures of him out there to match any angle and expression. Detect face, deep fake that area into Trump.

Yes, you would need to fix the pixels to an initial or average value. I remember Nintendo didn't do this a couple years ago, accidentally leaking the name of a new game mode [1] for Smash Ultimate.
