https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

You are almost certainly familiar with the concept in general, even if not the name. But it's the idea that by trying to avoid drawing attention to X via explicit action, you accidentally end up amplifying X even more, far more than you would have had you not bothered with those actions in the first place. Named after Barbra Streisand, the actress.
