Yeah it ends when you make a statement about someone that accuses them of a crime or otherwise libels them, in the UK at least. If someone has committed a crime

Yeah it ends when you make a statement about someone that accuses them of a crime or otherwise libels them, in the UK at least. If someone has committed a crime, we have courts. We've been doing this for centuries.
- karpierz 6y ago> Yeah it ends when you make a statement about someone that accuses them of a crime Why should I avoid talking about something because it pertains to a criminal proceeding? If I get sexually assaulted, should I avoid reaching out to anyone for support? If a person cheated me out of money during a business transaction, should I avoid calling them out on it? If someone punches me, and the police decide not to press charges, do I avoid warning anyone?

- karpierz 6y agoCan you be more precise by what you mean by lynching? If I retweet a message that says "X assaulted Y" and X ends up fired later, have I participated in a lynching?
- dragonwriter 6y ago> Purpose of cancel culture is lynching No, it's not, and saying it is is trivializing lynching. Which, given the political alignment of the people usually arguing the loudest against cancel culture, is unsurprising.
