  • The Streisand Effect  & Blog Archive   & Small-town police chief upset with blog; tells everyone all about it

    It's a classic case of the Streisand Effect: A police chief becomes upset with a local anonymous blogger, wastes taxpayer time and money to try to unmask the blogger, then goes to the media. The media promotes the small blog from the tiny town, suddenly making it a very big deal.
