A tech guru is waging a war on major media outlets across three continents, hiring a “media assassin” law firm to kill stories connecting him to “hacks-for-hire” controversy.

I think by “Streisand effect, Engage” he is saying that the world has now engaged in the Streisand effect, not that he himself is activating the entirety of the internet and media to start pushing the idea.
I share the sentiment. But it’s a little tacky to call for a Streisand effect. It’s like saying “guys, I’m a cool dude, right?!”
Edit: bros, I know what the Streisand effect is. I just think it’s tacky that someone says “hey, let’s go Streisand effect on this person!”
It’s not like saying that at all.
It is.
Streisand Effect is a story becoming big because it’s being surpressed. Not a promo deal.
I know that. It just feels like when people write “Twitter, do your thing.”
Not even remotely the same.
I disagree with your opinion.
Not an opinion, but go off.
It is, tho. Otherwise, feel free to elaborate.

That’s not how I interpreted it. I would accept what you’re saying if OP said “engaged” instead of “engage.”
Its the literal definition of Streisand effect. For example, I had no clue who this guy was till I read the story about him suppressing media.
I know what it is. I’m saying that it’s tacky to ask people to make it happen. Not that it happens.
