The rise of content creators and new media platforms like YouTube has challenged the authority and credibility of legacy media.

Cancel culture often fails to silence individuals and can lead to a backlash against those who attempt to suppress free speech. Cancel culture often misunderstands the importance of free speech and the unintended consequences of trying to shut down speech.
