The Dirty Mac
is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to
censor or remove a piece of information
backfires, causing the information to be
publicized widely and to a greater extent than
would have occurred if no censorship had been
attempted. Examples of such attempts include
censoring a photograph, a number, a file, or a
website (for example via a
cease-and-desist letter). Instead of being
suppressed, the information receives extensive
publicity, often being widely mirrored across the
Internet, or distributed on file-sharing networks.
