Well, looks like the [[Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China]] is getting a little carried away on Amazon reviews, Twitter, and even here on Wikipedia with [[Ping Fu]] because of her recent book ''Bend, Not Break.'' The secondary sources on the extent to which they've failed are just now starting to show up. I predict this will be perhaps the largest Streisand backfire in history.

Grey Tuesday
I feel like Grey Tuesday deserves a mention here. When EMI tried to eliminate DJ Danger Mouse's Grey Album, which combines tracks from The Beatle's White Album with Jay-Z's The Black Album. The cease-and-desist letter prompted hundreds of websites to host the album for download.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
This effect is a key plot point in this book. Do you think it should be mentioned? Difficultly north (talk) 14:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- This would need a reliable secondary source, otherwise it would be original research.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 15:45, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Can it qualify?
I just read a little of that removed material. Are there RS that state that recent events have caused a molehill to mountain effect with access to online data? Do any state that the government actions and resulting events have caused a deluge of more free access data on the net?--Canoe1967 (talk) 21:21, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- The problem with "examples" sections is that everyone wants to add more and more and more. Given the size of the examples section here relative to overall article size, I think the better question is "why should we add it?" Does it represent a better example than what already exists? Is the current list of examples too large already? How much of the desire to add it is agenda driven? Resolute 01:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Based on what was added, however, I would say that no, I don't think this qualifies. Accusing someone of violating a TOS by distributing material they do not have the right to do so is not a valid example of an attempt at suppressing information resulting directly in it being being seen by more people than if nothing had been done. The material was always available. It seems this is something closer to the MPAA/RIAA's anti-piracy campaigns rather than anything related to the Streisand Effect.

- I agree. We don't need every example. In the future there may be discussion on refining the list.--Canoe1967 (talk) 01:30, 19 January 2013 (UTC)Resolved
Jacob Zuma Penis Painting
I understand that there are a lot of examples already but I think it is worth considering the President of South Africa's recent attempt to supress a photo of himself with his genitals exposed which only served to make the painting a not only a South African but an international cause celebre? Just my two cents. Ntshebe (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
