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.

On the other hand, if there are companies that have succeeded in quietly optimizing away their critics, then we wouldn't know.

Yes, you're right on that. A form of survivorship bias - as it isn't really possible to know all the big happenings that have gone unknown.

They've got no obligation to tell their clients about it. If it all blows up the client is only going to need more PR work.
