No. Not cancelling, or cancel culture as a whole, but some things said about people during the course of cancelling them on Twitter etc. could be considered libellous (libel is slander in written form, slander refers to spoken lies) if they were untrue.Random question of the day:
Could cancel culture be considered slander?
I wouldn’t necessarily say it is slander, but I would say it amplifies and feeds off of slander. Cancel culture takes something someone thinks is an issue or something someone allegedly did and creates a mob mentality focused on some blown out of proportion version of it- while some of these cases are true, and debatably deserving of the ensuing punishment, the fact is that cancel culture is predicated on taking slander at face value- otherwise there wouldn’t be enough cases for us to call it a cancel “culture”.Random question of the day:

The real question is: are these things defamatory or lies OR are they things that are true but that people take offence at?I wouldn’t necessarily say it is slander, but I would say it amplifies and feeds off of slander.

Well, most of them are defamation, I’d say. However, something that ought to be understood from my perspective is this: If you seek to punish someone for something you don’t know they did, that’s no difference from trying to punish them based on defamation.The real question is: are these things defamatory or lies OR are they things that are true but that people take offence at?
Nah, but then I don't believe that cancel culture is really a thing.Random question of the day:
