Yes. For simple text-censoring examples de-pixelating is quite easy (since you know a lot about what could be under it), it was only a matter of time that somebody applied better tools to harder cases.
(you can of course cover something up with a random pixelated pattern if that looks less jarring, but it then is a purely cosmetic choice: the important bit is to remove all information connected to the obscured content)
