This technique is also known as Greeking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeking#In_computing

> The term "greeking" was applied by various WYSIWYG editors of the 1980s, such as ApplixWare and Island Graphics. Greeking referred to the substitution of text with a placeholder gray bar upon moving out of focus.

Obfuscate is fine. Redact is more to the point though!

edit: Redactify for instant pre-seed angel funding
