Every time a big company tries to strong arm an individual to take down something, esp something that is already viral in nature, the end result is it ends up getting more views and news. Yet, these companies never learn. Also in this day and age I think it's impossible to take a video down (s01e01 black mirror anyone?)

On the other hand, a detailed breakdown of what went wrong including details of the fuckup, with black and white details on what was fact and what is fiction (like Tesla's response to BBC) and the measure the company is taking to fix it generally helps to gain the trust back quickly.

I don't believe that the Streisand effect is a common outcome, not even for especially ridiculous cases.
