Cancel Culture
**Cancel culture** refers to the practice of withdrawing support for public figures, companies, or individuals after they have said or done something considered objectionable or offensive. This phenomenon, often amplified by social media, can involve boycotts, public shaming, or calls for dismissal. Supporters view cancel culture as a way to hold people accountable, while critics argue it can lead to disproportionate punishment and stifle free expression. The term has sparked significant debate regarding its impact on society, freedom of speech, and justice.
