Primes

• Streisand Effect
  • In copyright and trade-secret enforcement, aggressive action against fan content or leaked material can convert a niche curiosity into widely circulated material.

    This sourceEmpirically finds banned titles see roughly a 12% rise in circulation (and spillover to non-banning states), with social-media-amplified visibility benefiting lesser-known authors — documenting suppression-as-amplification for creative/copyrighted works.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
