You completely misunderstand what the Streisand effect is. It's the old saying "You can't close the barn door once the cows are out." She wanted to stop the spread of knowledge that was already available publicly by legally blocking sources sharing it. But trying to hide something just makes people want it more, so doing this will actually draw more attention to it. It's the same way we see scandals blow up on TV every day. Embarrassing things are embarrassing, but trying to cover them up is even more salacious. Yelling "Don't look!" isn't a good way to hide. Instead, it's best to say nothing and let people lose interest.
- gradientsrneat 2y agoI know what the Streisand Effect "means". See my statement: "I think the concepts behind these terms make sense, though." I am also not trying to argue about rights to privacy. There are already many threads on this website about privacy.
