It feels like people don’t try to figure out information others don’t want them to know anymore.
Looking at world events and how much information is being censored from us, it’s surprising how little effort is being put into identifying and documenting that censorship.
Even hearing about the ‘Streisand Effect’ seems like something the censors don’t want to happen.
That’s not what the Streisand Effect is. It’s when some one someone announces they don’t want you to know something that drives people to know it anyway.
Is it really an ‘announcement’, or just the act of trying to cover it up in the first place?
The result of trying to suppress information which has the opposite effect of spreading the information further.
I.E. A celebrity sees a picture of themselves on the internet that they don’t like. Instead of ignoring it, they actively try to suppress it which only serves to bring more attention to it, thus exposing it to far more people than would have seen it had it been ignored.
