I have no desire to search for or watch this particular video, but I’m guessing the Streisand Effect is out in full force already.

It was promptly shared on horrible sites like 8chan and KiwiFarms, and then a Torrent was shared to alleviate the bandwidth pressure on those websites. It was in full force before I even heard about the shooting.

  It truly horrifies me when I learned there are groups who celebrate mass murder by posting video to Internet. They go out of their way to mutate their posting in order to evade Internet service's detecting. Who are these people? I never know this dark side of humanity exist and it horrifies me. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/03/18/inside-youtubes-struggles-shut-down-video-new-zealand-shooting-humans-who-outsmarted-its-systems/?utm_term=.54c5e0ad55af&wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/03/18/inside-...

      BTW Kiwi-farms has NOTHING to do with New Zealand, the name is a sick pun by sick people

    I'm glad it shared. Just because you find it horrifies doesn't mean other will feel the same. I want to see it just for curiosity.

The Streisand Effect usually applies to situations that would have normally passed by without being noticed. I doubt the coverage the attempted banning of this video received would have increased the overall reach of it significantly.
