Cancel culture, also known as call-out culture or public cancellation, is a modern cultural phenomenon where individuals or groups are publicly criticized, boycotted, or ostracized for behavior or statements deemed unacceptable. This practice is heavily driven by social media campaigns that often call for the target to be professionally or socially shunned. It represents a form of online shaming and collective social sanctioning in the digital age.
