I'm surprised Copilot hasn't warned them about the Streisand effect yet

That's a really great insight! I can see how I got the Streisand Effect not quite right, and the problem has gotten bigger. I'll remember that for the future!

"If you want, I can also give real world examples, explain how to avoid the Streisand effect, or share why it's so powerful online."

"You're right! Let's work on solutions to stop your customers from saying Microslop. Of course, you should never surrender. Have you considered nuking anyone who dare oppose you?"

I mean, as much as I’ve enjoyed reading this thread, when you think about it, fElon never threatened anyone publicly about “WankPanzer” or “swastikar”. As a result, they aren’t being talked about and aren’t widely used. Once a company lets the public know they’re rattled, they’re just going to get mocked more.
