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.

That’s not how I interpreted it. I would accept what you’re saying if OP said “engaged” instead of “engage.”
