Some people from a couple of film podcasts I listen to had a (fairly balanced) discussion about this subject. I thought it was interesting and would share it here (about an hour long).



These are the cases that were mentioned of non-celebrities who got 'cancelled':

PR executive who go fired after a tweet - https://www.google.com/search?q=Just...hrome&ie=UTF-8

and

'Husband-and-wife Yale professors resign in the wake of Halloween costume scandal' https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...t-yale/484418/ & https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ume-email.html

This is about the book 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed' by Jon Ronson.

So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a 2015 book by British journalist Jon Ronson about online shaming and its historical antecedents. The book explores the re-emergence of public shaming as an Internet phenomenon, particularly on Twitter.....
