what do you mean with redaction? that sounds very analog. which is an
excellent protection against cheap/digital data-krakens, collect the data in
analog form on dead trees and use a huge tipped black pen to redact stuff. but
in the digital realm this does not work. either you have useful data or
anonymous, but both does not work :/

what works best in the digital world is to practice data minimization. only
collect data if it's necessary, there's no alternative and only as long as
needed.
