I believe the Streisand effect is usually false. 99% of the time censorship works, and you only hear about the rare 1% of times when the public found out.
Particularly I'm familiar with moderating a large subreddit. It's amazing what mods can get away with, and users have no clue. Since all removals are silent. So many people shadowbanned and have no idea and just keep commenting like normal.
If a tester entered a bug and you can't repro because the bug doesn't specify the environment, you'd rip 'em a new one. But someone uses two measly words to describe their test environment in this case, and now you question them about their eloquence?
Or maybe I have you wrong, so I'll ask: why would you ask why someone mentioned a specific search engine?
I wonder how many more years until large bodies (used in a company/regulatory sense) understand this.
Unless their attempt is to gain coverage on something - trying to hide it is going to have the opposite effect due to social media...it seems like so many people are aware of the Streisand effect except everyone in a PR position.
