It feels like people don't try to figure out information others don't want them to know anymore.

Looking at world events and how much information is being censored from us, it's surprising how little effort is being put into identifying and documenting that censorship.

Even hearing about the 'Streisand Effect' seems like something the censors don't want to happen.

That's not what the Streisand Effect is. It's when some one someone announces they don't want you to know something that drives people to know it anyway.
