Yes. "Cancel culture" is, apparently, the result of a combination of the observation of mass unfairness, and the public voicing of reactions to bad behavior. Both of these things are natural and do not represent a change in culture - what's changed is the social internet's inherent (i.e. it would happen regardless of any bias) effect of making both things hyper-visibile (which multiplies, since more visibility of the former produces more instances of the latter, which in turn are also more visible). The reaction to cancel culture is mostly a dissatisfaction with this completely natural problem, but which attempts to paint it as a whole-cloth invention of their political enemies, and uses highly cherry-picked examples of bad outcomes to falsely represent the whole massive phenomenon. In short, when hundreds of millions of people's voices are public by default, every opinion, thought, or emotion looks like a "mob".
