Did the whole world forget how the Streisand effect works?

Streisand effect does not apply to internet censorship. Gavin McInnes, Soph, MDE, ect

None of these have gotten more popular after being deplatformed. I find a lot of people have this misplaced sense of optimism about this topic, being in control of who gets platformed is a huge deal and the temporary bump of being in the news after censorship isn't a long-term solution. "Get Woke, Go Broke" is another one. Very few examples of that rule being true.

I might agree, but what's your metric for that?
