But I have a near-religious taboo against using "The Streisand Effect", which has always sounded a little jarring to my ears, since it was coined in the 2000s, long after Streisand had ceased to be a culturally interesting figure, and now used mostly(I suspect) by people who don't really hold any perception of her heyday, just knew about her attempts to suppress the photos.
But that attempt to suppress the photos is what the Streisand Effect refers to. To the degree it might have anything to do with cultural interest, the overall lack of cultural interest, the fact that people wouldn’t otherwise be interested had she not made a big deal trying to hide it, is part of it.
Though make no mistake; for some of us, Barbra Streisand will always be of cultural interest.
One of the few files that featured Trump (a photo that contained an open photo album showing Trump) has now been deleted from the DoJ website.
As far as I can see, the only information one could conclusively glean from that photo was that Epstein had an album with a rather unremarkable picture of Trump in it.
.
A photo of Trump and Melanie with Ghislaine and Epstein - and of course the album itself hints at more photos.
But yeah. One of the cases where the cover up is worse than the thing covered up.
If you google "Meidas Touch twitter" you can find near the top a before-and-after display of a document that the DoJ apparently first posted unredacted, and then later redacted, which apparently includes someone's description about Trump engaged in sex acts with another person described as a "girl".
Meidas is a fairly credible, if at times tiresomely partisan, source, but I don't know how they discovered this discrepancy, ie. if someone emailed it to them after the redaction had taken place(in which case, the supposed original could be a photoshop), or if one of their journalists discovered it on their own.
Also don't know how the word "girl" was being used by the speaker, but even if it's refering to say, a 19 year old, in the context of the Epstein scandal, you can see why Trump's people wouldn't want that to get out.

Now, now, some of them will be other Republican politicians or business leaders who are pro-Trump.
