The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censoring attempt paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbra Streisand, a musician whom most Zoomers would probably have never heard of if not for the Streisand Effect

@mansr fair enough. Yes that is what I was referring to. The word sound of "Meta Streisand" as the second order Streisand effect reminded me of "Mecha Streisand" from South Park, which was itself (I think) a reference to the Streisand effect and again has outlived the fame of the referent.

(Edit no the episode was not a reference I checked and my memory is wrong, the episode was 5 years before the lawsuit)
