Mandatum paradox

this is a paradox which occurs when someone asks you to 'not be nice to them'. Here, if you do not behave nicely towards them, you are actually listening to them, and thus being nice. Whereas, if you don't listen to them, you'll be acting nice to them. And thus, there is no appropriate action to this command/request.
Dude, she asked me not to be nice to her, but that request makes no sense, isn't the mandatum paradox exactly about this?

Moral panic paradox

Intense hysteria about a social or political problem that, instead of solving or reducing the problem, actually makes it worse.
The intense xenophobia behind the Trump Administration's efforts to stop migrants from Central America from entering the U.S. have actually increased the number of asylum seekers many times over from during the Obama Administration. It's an example of a "moral panic paradox" -- people are afraid the asylum laws will change so they need to immigrate now before that happens. Another moral panic paradox happens when gun-control advocates seek limits on the sale of assault rifles after a mass shooting. The result is increased sales of assault rifles because people feel they need to buy them now before the laws change.
