Food for thought, Mr. Sibal.

What term did this picture give rise to ?


Ans: Streisand Effect. 
Quoting wiki 
"The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the perverse effect of publicizing the information more widely. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress photographs of her residence inadvertently generated further publicity."
