Cancel culture or call-out culture is a contemporary term used to describe a form of ostracism in which someone is excluded from social or professional circles – whether online, on social media or in person. People who are subject to this ostracism are said to have been ‘cancelled’. The term ‘cancel culture’ has mostly negative connotations and is used in discussions about freedom of expression and censorship.
