Barbra Streisand's attempt to remove a photo of her Malibu mansion from the Internet backfired resulting in the photo going viral & creating a new term: "the Streisand effect" This week, Hungary's failed attempt to ban #BudapestPride has led to the coining of a new word: "Orbanned" #Pride #Budapest
