Heh... From the New York Post:
The Post’s Twitter account gained about 190,000 followers during blackout
The Post gained about 190,000 Twitter followers while it was locked out of its primary account by the social media giant, data shows.
That number represents a 10.6 percent increase in just about two weeks, according to analytics tool Social Blade.
The spike came as Twitter blocked the news organization from posting during that time period.
A tweet announcing The Post’s return to the social media site on Friday evening quickly went viral, racking up more than 17,000 retweets and close to 50,000 likes in about an hour.
Streisand Effect? From InfoGalactic:
The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware something is being kept from them, their motivation to access the information is increased.
It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently drew further public attention to it. Similar attempts have been made, for example, in cease-and-desist letters to suppress numbers, files, and websites. Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity and media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, often being widely mirrored across the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks.
The Joe Biden scandal just got that much more widespread. They could have denied it and the complicit media would have gone along. They tried to hide it and everyone wondered why. 100% true of course - the emails are real and the Biden family is corrupt as Hell.
