I think the obsession with public shaming of ordinary people is a public disgrace frankly. The people who have nothing better to do with their day but tear some person's unfortunate tweet to death are often more worthy of ridicule than the offending person. It's an elaborate game of schadenfreude and generally people make fools of themselves of themselves doing it. However, the weaponinzation of the charge of cancel culture is also insane. The number of performative outrages about cancel culture is at this point is nearly beyond counting - in those cases, absolutely no one is being canceled. In fact, they are weaponizing "being canceled" to grow their own fame and power.
