Barbaric Streisand Effect 

When good-intentioned people try to censor hateful content but it only creates a polarized echo chamber that festers and grows.

Timmy: TIMMAH?

Saul: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the gates of heaven are opened by the devil's advocate.

Timmy: TIMMEH.

Saul: Yes, Timmy, it seems that we need to rename the barbara Streisand effect since she was trying so hard to have the last laugh, she has allowed hate to grow in the shadows and become a monster now, the Barbaric Streisand Effect.

Timmy: TIMMAAAAAH!!!
Saul: Just another example of cyberphunkisms

Barbara Streisand

1. This is how stupid fucks who don't know how to spell Barbra's name spell it. They lack intelligence and general support for their ridiculous claims.

2.A non-existent super star. For Barbra Streisand does NOT spell her name with 3 A's you dumb fucks.

Stupid people spell Barbra Streisand's name Barbara Streisand.

People should look up their "facts" before they start spilling shit about BARBRA not BARBARA.

People who spell her name Barbara Streisand probably also pronounce her last name Strei-ZAND and not SAND as it is supposed to be said.

Streisand Marketing 

Deliberate provocation of the Streisand Effect in order to draw attention to or promote a product.

I perused Streisand Marketing so I could get people to listen.

Streisand Deflect 

When a powerful person, company, or institution deliberately floods the internet with unrelated but highly searchable content in order to bury or “deflect” attention from an embarrassing rumor, scandal, or conspiracy.

The move usually involves releasing something with the exact same keyword as the damaging story, so when people Google it, they get the official, harmless version instead of the scandal.

Examples:
• People joked that Disney named the movie Frozen so that when you search “Disney Frozen,” you get the animated princess and not stories about Walt Disney’s frozen head.
• Rumors spread that Beyoncé had a year-long affair with her bodyguard; not long after, she dropped a song called Bodyguard.
• Gross gossip about Dubai “chocolate porta-potties” parties started circulating, then suddenly “Dubai Chocolate” became a big marketing push.

“Bro, Sama is using Sora to make videos of himself commiting ‘crimes’? That’s a Streisand Deflect if I’ve ever seen one…”

Streisand Effect

When an attempt to cover something up ends up drawing more attention to it. This is relevant to gangstalking and other types of crime in that a coverup can sometimes be easier to see than the crime itself.

This term originated from Barbara Streisand’s efforts to have her waterfront home removed from a website, used by researchers, that displays images of the California coastline. As a direct result of her efforts, the number of views of her house went from 6 to 420,000 in the following month. Those original 6 views were reportedly all from either herself, her lawyers, or her neighbors.

(1) Paul noticed that many of his files relating to gangstalking were being deleted or corrupted. This created a Streisand Effect, in that because of this, his friends began to pay more attention to what he was saying.

(2) The presence of numerous posts that deny the existence of gangstalking and the trolling of people claiming to be targeted individuals has created a Streisand Effect. The number of people present in gangstalking forums who “don’t believe in” this conspiracy theory seems inordinately high.

(3) A Streisand Effect is created by the numerous wildly outlandish posts that appear to be deliberate disinformation to discredit victims, rather than honest mental illness. These are recognizable by having no mention of the core concepts of gangstalking such as classical conditioning, the use of patsies/collaborators, slander, vandalism, and Zersetzung, and instead try to direct attention toward hard-to-believe fringe concepts such as microchipping, V2K, energy weapons, mind control, and unrelated conspiracy theories.

(4) Nowadays, the disinformation posts are often quickly called-out. The perpetrators likely realized that they were creating a Streisand Effect, and have curtailed this type of activity. Although disagreement still exists, the online discussions about gangstalking appear to be more respectful and civilized than in earlier years.
