Comments.Text: I searched through the latest codebase and the phrase "email protected" does not appear at any point. Hence it is unlikely CiviCRM. CloudFlare does do this via ScrapeShield, good digging Pete. See: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-scrapeshield-discover-defend-dete/ @petednz-fuzion - I'll let you write the answer :)

Title: Why do email drop-downs show "email protected"
ThreadText: # Why do email drop-downs show "email protected"
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-05)
  
  Whether when selecting a from email address in CiviMail (or Civi regular email), or selecting (the email of) an existing user in Drupal Webform\_CiviCRM, the email will sometimes be hidden and the message "email protected" will be displayed instead.
  It seems to happen only when I access the site with a https URL. When I access the site using http, I can see the email.
  This has been the case on all Civi versions with Drupal 7. Same thing when logged in as user 1
  
  What causes this and how do we get rid of it?

  I believe this is something external to civicrm. Services like CloudFlare can cause email addressed to be 'protected' and the fact you are saying this happens on https but not http seems to be another pointer in that direction.
