Is cancel culture a form of censorship?

...

Cancel culture happens when individuals or organizations face public backlash for perceived wrongdoing, and it has become a major social phenomenon in recent years. Supporters argue it holds people accountable and amplifies marginalized voices, while critics claim it silences speech and punishes mistakes disproportionately. This debate explores whether cancel culture constitutes a form of censorship, examining its impact on free expression, social accountability, and the balance between personal responsibility and public shaming. Participants are invited to consider both the ethical and practical consequences of this cultural practice.
