that measure was asking for the Streisand Effect

It's funny, because the term refers to Streisand's effort to censor photos of her Beachside mega mansion, highlighted as a contributor to a major problem of beach erosion.

Now, everyone remembers the "effect" of the censorship backfiring. But nobody seems to care about the environmental reforms the photo was intended to champion.

I wonder if this story will raise the question of why these students were being censored to begin with and what the keffieyah stands for.
