The '''Streisand effect''' is the phenomenon where an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information inadverdently results in the propagation of it, to more widespread levels, than had it not been hidden. It was named after [[Barbra Streisand]], an entertainer, who tried to censor images of her Malibu mansion, only to have reporting on those efforts draw mass attention to a story that had previously been obscure.
