The Streisand Effect
Streisand Effect:
Refers to the unintended consequence of further publicizing information by trying to have it censored. Instead of successfully removing the information from the public, it becomes even more widely available than before as a backlash against the censorship attempt.

This post should be banned!!
Banned I say!!
If the public found out about this there would be panic in the streets.
So we must protect them from themselves and ban this blasphemy now!
:-)
Wow, I have heard of the term Streisand Effect and did not know the history of it, thanks for that knowyourmeme link.
This post is beyond banned. I figure for every post that's censored, it should be replicated and distribute it 1000x...unless its spam.
I heard someone use it in a different context yesterday, and I pulled the Streisand Effect argument
