A phenomenon in which attempting to suppress an item of information attracts additional unwanted attention to it, thus furthering the spreading of the information
The "Streisand effect" is a term used to describe a phenomenon on the Internet where an attempt to censor or remove (in particular, by the means of cease-and-desist letters) a certain piece of information (for example, a photograph, file, or even a whole website) backfires and the information receives extensive publicity on the Internet, often widely mirrored, or distributed on file-sharing networks in a short period of time. Mike Masnick said he jokingly coined the term in January 2005, “to describe [this] increasingly common phenomenon.”
