Quick Description
The Streisand effect is a phenomenon on the Internet where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be widely publicized. Examples of such attempts include censoring a photograph, a number, a file, or a website (for example via a cease-and-desist letter).

Why'd We Pick?
Next time an inappropriate photo of you ends up on the internet, the best thing to do is just ignore it...and hope no one sees it.
