"The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where attempts to hide, remove, or censor information backfire by drawing more attention to it. The term originates from a 2003 incident where singer Barbra Streisand sued to have a photograph of her Malibu home removed from a public database; the resulting lawsuit and media coverage led to the photo being viewed hundreds of thousands of times, making it much more visible than it would have been otherwise."
