In recent years, we've seen the growth of 'cancel culture' - where those who voice controversial opinions on gender, race, politics and even pop culture are publicly shamed and boycotted on social media and in the press. The consequences can be a devastating loss of reputation and income from which it can be hard to recover. But others say it sparks important conversations and change like the #MeToo movement and #BlackLivesMatter.
Critics of cancel culture say it's no better than letting an angry mob decide someone's fate. That it endangers democracy, stifling free speech because people are too scared to voice their true opinions. So is cancel culture out of hand? Or are people in privileged positions just nervous that they're suddenly being held to account for their thoughts, words and actions?
