Yes, Streisand Effect suggests it has exactly the opposite effect, at least online. There's a multitude of evidence that attempting to censor people or pieces of their content on the net significantly increases attention and support for them, @alex's story is just one example. Some people live in a fantasy world where deplatforming works and anyone who questions it is a covert fascist. They contribute daily to the problems they complain of.
