Excellent article.

I never realised Helen Steel was from the McLibel case! They picked the wrong woman to mess with there!

(If you haven't seen the McLibel documentary, I'd very much recommend it.)

Link to the recent debate. From Twitter: Congratulations to @bindelj & @Ayaan for emphatically winning tonight’s debate against Billy Bragg & Kehinde Andrews that ‘Cancel culture is threatening our freedoms’. (For the motion 77% Against 16% Undecided 7%)(hosted by Intelligence Squared)

I recognise some of the content of the article from the online debate last night. There is a thread on the debate.

I have watched Twitter cancel people for several years. A lot of the cancelling is done on women (especially gender-critical women) and most of the overall cancelling is done on 'little people,' not famous journalists, academics or public intellectuals. It's probably much harder to cancel the latter group, in any case.

Twitter itself has a penchant for cancelling women's voices by lifetime bans for misgendering and such while it allows 'minor attracted persons' to freely create connections.
