The X effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove,
or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of
publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the
Internet. It is named after X, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress
photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently
generated further publicity. X unsuccessfully sued photographer
Kenneth Adelman and Pictopia.com for violation of privacy. The US$50
million lawsuit endeavoured to remove an aerial photograph of X's
mansion from the publicly available collection of 12,000 California
coastline photographs. Before X filed her lawsuit, "Image 3850" had
been downloaded only six times; two of those downloads were by X's
attorneys. As a result of the case, public knowledge of the picture
increased substantially; more than 420,000 people visited the site over
the following month. Which unfortunate entertainment personality is
this?

The X effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove,
or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of
publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the
Internet. It is named after X, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress
photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently
generated further publicity. X unsuccessfully sued photographer
Kenneth Adelman and Pictopia.com for violation of privacy. The US$50
million lawsuit endeavoured to remove an aerial photograph of X's
mansion from the publicly available collection of 12,000 California
coastline photographs. Before X filed her lawsuit, "Image 3850" had
been downloaded only six times; two of those downloads were by X's
attorneys. As a result of the case, public knowledge of the picture
increased substantially; more than 420,000 people visited the site over
the following month. Which unfortunate entertainment personality is
this?
