Cancel culture is a modern day equivalent of 17th century mob with pitchforks passing judgment based on rumour and questionable evidence.
The more interesting question is, even if everyone comes to the conclusion that this isn't right or just, can something be done about it? In 17th century mobs could be controlled by armed forces. Internet mobs cannot be controlled.

When the first villager picks up their pitch-fork and starts waving it it's cancel culture that tells them to dump the pitchfork and go home. It's weird that when someone says hateful shit, driving people off a platform, and other people say "hey, don't do that" it's the later group that gets accused of cancel culture. And that first group of hateful bigots want a one way freedom of speech: "I get to say whatever stupid hateful shit I like because freedom of speech, but you don't get to use that same freedom of speech to debunk my bullshit because CANCEL CULTURE you triggered snowflakes".
