Day 33: The Streisand Effect

The best way to convince the American people that the election was rigged is to have giant corporations censor anyone who dares to talk about it. Some might call it the Law of Unintended Consequences, or the "Streisand Effect." For those unfamiliar, Barbara Streisand sued a photo for "invasion of privacy" when he took an aerial photograph that included a view of her house. Because of the suit, far more people became aware of the photo than would have if she'd just left matters alone.

The social media giants have tried to convince the public this election was legit by posting labels and notices all over the place, but apparently it hasn't worked, so now they're going to have to resort to just banning any discussion of it outright. And it won't work, of course — discussion will simply move to other sympathetic venues, where it will continue with far less chances of being challenged.

This video does a fairly good job of explaining why this kind of tactic won't work.
