Do NOT look it up on duckduckgo. Consider yourself warned. I mean it. DO NOT RESEARCH THIS FOR YOURSELF! Under no circumstances, should you enter the phrase "What exactly is the Streisand Effect" into the duckduckgo search bar. Just Don't do it. I beg you.
The Streisand effect is a social phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing that information, often via the Internet. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew further attention to it in 2003.
You can eat anything but whatever is in that closet. Do not open that closet. There is absolutely nothing in that closet that you would want to eat. It is closed and locked for a reason. No matter what anyone else says about what is in there, do not give it any concern. You can eat anything, besides what is in that closet.
Trying to keep one out or away from something only increases the desire to know. People talk, people ask questions, and some will get in the closet. If they share what is in the closet, folks will feel like they are special because they are in on the secret.
The secret spreads.
The original intention was to keep the information secret, but in the attempt to keep it secret, folks can now be interested in something they didn’t care about before.
Basically it is like telling your kid not to look in your bedroom closet because there is a awesome surprise that is a super secret on the shelf that you dont want them to see until christmas because it is just so awesome and a secret. Then going out and leaving the kid alone in the house.
Several years ago, a photographer took photos of Barbara Streisand's house in Malibu CA. She got pissed off. She made a very public display of how wrong it was.
Her bitching about it made the news headlines, and the whole world was curious and looked at the pictures. So, her complaining ended up backfiring on her. She wanted her home to be private, but instead it became very public.
The "Streisand Effect" is where someone does something that ends up having the opposite impact of what was intended.
Be helpful (without sarcasm) or be quiet. She came here asking for your input on something in simple terms. Maybe the online shit was overly verbose (like your response above) and didn't really provide clarity. We're supposed to be on the same side here, dude.

JESUS CHRIST! He's right. Don't do it! I... I need therapy now. :/
Thank you for the warning! I definately won't! ;-) ;-) ;-)
That shoulda been my answer.

The fact that we still remember the incident and use the term the "Streisand Effect" is a result of the "Streisand Effect". Its recursive!
Don't touch that BIG RED BUTTON - no matter what!
TLDR; things get banned/censored, ppl get curious why and explore as ppl do.
Just look it up

Fair analysis.
The Streisand Effect doesn't exist. No, super serious, it doesn't. Stop looking for it.
