Counterpoint: Having a filter and not oversharing every fleeting thought with the entire world decreases the likelihood of getting cancelled (which is really nothing but good old fashioned ostracism, though I believe the way it's currently being weaponized will diminish over time, lose it's effectiveness and again be reserved for the truly repugnant).

- sumthinprofound 5y agoAgreed. The online outrage cycle has got really good at that ten years' exile penalty phase, we haven't quite sorted out how to allow for individual growth or redemption. As a species I feel we are still adjusting to this instantaneous global connectivity, and "cancel culture" is an over-correction as we try to define what it means to be part of a polite digital-first society.
