  • Resumen

  • There's an awful lot of talk about censorship in the media lately, but did you know a lot of the most viral information was only revealed because of an attempt to cover it up?The Streisand Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the Internet.In this episode we cover a plethora of examples of the Streisand Effect, from where it gets it's name, political coverups gone wrong, all the way to literary censorship creating cult classics like Lolita. Finally we talk about Roko's Basilisk, described as "The Most Terrifying Thought Experiment of All Time", that went viral through the effect, possibly puts everyone who is aware of its existence in danger.Sign up for weekly episodes: www.patreon.com/redroompod--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroompod/message
