Doesn't that actually make his tweets stand out even more? Like how putting parental advisory warnings made a cd/album even more desirable. Or how a banned books list is a form of advertising and draws more interest to the banned books.
And lets not forget the streisand effect. How many people are now actually going to trump's twitter just to view the "bad tweets" now?
Everyone here understands the streisand effect/etc here but fail to see how it also applies to trump. Trump is literally using hate/opposition as a form of free advertising. He is using hate/opposition to drive traffic to his twitter account. It's unbelievable when you think about it.
- gamblor956 6y agoNo, because now the contents of the tweet are hidden until you explicitly choose to view them rather than just showing up unsolicited, and more importantly, because tweets flagged in this manner no longer show up in feeds. You would have to visit his twitter account to even know that the tweets exist, and you would have to click on each tweet individually to view it, and to waive the warning label, so you would already have to have the intent to view them. Thus, the Streisand Effect doesn't apply.
