You know what I love about the Streisand effect?
Not only did she make it more likely for people to go looking for the original thing, it’s a long time later, and even though people would have forgotten it, the fact that she did it and had the effect named after her means that even people that don’t care about her or remember her will see the name and have to go look it up, which means they’ll run into the very thing she wanted forgotten.
Image Case in point
I had totally forgotten whatever it was, and had to look it up, and there it is.
This dipshit? We might not care. His own citizens might not have cared about the song before. But now? He’s fucked. That song is now inextricably linked to his name and history. In twenty years, if anyone bothers to look him up, that song is going to be at least a footnote.
