I would say in my opinion it's quite the opposite.
The mob indirectly make the decision by forcing the "owners" by threats, boycott or giving the bad public on social media, or even in some cases in real life. If you're thick-skinned then you can life with that and do nothing, but most of the people would actually choose to censor/remove something or fire somebody instead of receiving the blow themself.
For example I could just ignore opposing opinions I don't agree with, but I won't be ignoring threats, bullying etc. which are so common nowadays. I remember the times where you could have your opinions and if you did not directly attacked somebody or didn't break the law in your country you could post nearly anything you want and these were the times of the freedom of speech.
You can't have your opposing opinion now in some of the topics because if you do, then you're risking getting cancelled, (shadow) banned, muted or at least having your opinion removed. Or as it's common you would get the badge of being left or right even if you're not.
You won't find many people who could support your opinion or at least try to calm down the conflict/argue because most of the people don't care about the "wars" that are happening in the social media, they just want to have a nice and peaceful life.
So, my opinion at the end is that we shouldn't care who creator is or what he did, the only thing we should care about is or isn't his creation, whether it's valuable or invaluable for me, my relatives, society or the environment. And if somebody disagree with some opinion, then he should post his opinion/argument if it gives any value for future on-topic discussion or some unique view, but do not start a flame war or literally try to destroy somebody' life or day because of that. In the end you do you and i do me.
Also, just to clearly point that out, I'm not from the US and I'm neither so called far-left nor far-right as probably no one is.
