A tech guru is waging a war on major media outlets across three continents, hiring a “media assassin” law firm to kill stories connecting him to “hacks-for-hire” controversy.
I share the sentiment. But it’s a little tacky to call for a Streisand effect. It’s like saying “guys, I’m a cool dude, right?!”
Edit: bros, I know what the Streisand effect is. I just think it’s tacky that someone says “hey, let’s go Streisand effect on this person!”
Streisand Effect is a story becoming big because it’s being surpressed. Not a promo deal.
I think by “Streisand effect, Engage” he is saying that the world has now engaged in the Streisand effect, not that he himself is activating the entirety of the internet and media to start pushing the idea.
Its the literal definition of Streisand effect. For example, I had no clue who this guy was till I read the story about him suppressing media.
