Ok so im on https://www.justice.gov/epstein , just doing random searches and fanning through e-mails.
I have noticed a vast amount of the communications most specifically names/places have been obfuscated for example;

Within e-mails you can see the obfuscated nomenclature being used in well known news media sites such as;

Replacing letters in a word to hide its true identity, often to bypass content filters or maintain secrecy, is known as
obfuscation, substitution ciphering, or, in specific contexts, a form of leetspeak (or leet) when numbers/symbols are used. It is a method of covering, misspelling, or altering words to conceal meaning.
Key terms for this technique include:
-Obfuscation: Intentionally making a word or text difficult to understand or recognize.
-Substitution Cipher: A method where letters are systematically replaced with other letters or symbols to disguise the original message.
-Misspelling/Censorship Evasion: Replacing characters (e.g., "$") to bypass automated filters or hide from keyword tracking.
-LeetSpeak (1337): Replacing letters with numbers or special characters that look similar (e.g., "p4ssw0rd").
When these methods are used specifically in online communities to bypass censorship, it is sometimes referred to as social steganography
