The difference here (and in this era) is that all of this behavior is documented. It's not merely one employee's word against another.

The difference here is this is someone engaging in the public in behavior that contradicts the very field he is a part of.
Vs a personal social media account under anonymity in which case the person doing the "exposing" would have to dox a person to accomplish corroborating the identity of the person posting on social media AND to find that person's place of work to get them fired,(a crime), AND if the postings fall under free speech, there recently have been people who have had this happen to them who have been successful in suing both the company that fired them (violation of free speech) AND the people that doxed them, because they committed a crime.
As I said - things aren't going the way they did early in cancel culture. Many of the people doing the doxing are finding their lives ruined instead when the lawsuits start coming for them - because when some of these companies fire their employees and then get sued successfully, they also want their pound of flesh and go after the doxer too...

He worked for a DEI firm. There is no "clock" when it comes to gross misconduct, especially misconduct misaligned with the values/mission espoused by the employer. Someone from Alcoholics Anonymous can't be caught on video chugging Guinness's at a toga party like he's Stone Cold Steve Austin and expect to keep his job with the sole defense that he was off the clock.

We're not talking about cancel culture though, we're talking about being terminated for violating corporate code of conduct policy and being terminated. Again, the whole concept of "cancel culture" is very new and has to do with people losing their careers or income source or companies suffering loss of marketability due to people saying things that provoke backlash from vocal minorities or a majority audience. Corporate codes of conduct outside of work preexist "cancel culture"

Still, how dumb does someone have to be to work for a DEI department and then publicly go after a woman like that?
That would be like being in charge of a state where forest maintenance is required to prevent forest fires and then redirecting all fiscal and natural resources away from keeping the needed reservoirs filled and away from performing proper forest maintenance....oh wait......
An expert in forest fire fighting now huh? You're a jack ass of all trades! oh wait.

Yeah man, after the last neck fusion had to check out early. Been self employed last few years. Body is trashed, but have a great pension.
Don't know many of us that make it to full retirement.

Except back in the day, people didn't get fired what they said in private or under anonymity. Cancel culture doxxed people and then targeted employers to get these people fired - often not for violating a code of conduct but for holding a political belief the "mob" didn't agree with.
That's tapering off now and the doxxers are getting punished for doxxing. Also doesn't help when some of these companies end up going under because what they did becomes public and half the country stops supporting that business.

K.
Reminder for you though, you being someone who doxxes people, should be concerned with facing the consequences your advocating for.

Just because in your fairy tale land you love the idea of people you hate getting their lives ruined with no repercussions to those who did it, doesn't mean that actually exists in the real world.
This took a 3 minute google search. You have 2 cases and proof that not just the business but the person who took part in the initial cancelling and contacting the business to get someone cancelled put themselves at risk of litigation.

See my reply to Pride. There are consequences now for specifically engaging in "Cancel Culture", both for the people who do it, and the employer who bows to that pressure.

Back in the day, there was no internet. You'd have to really have an axe to grind to want to sift through Bell Atlantic to make your point.
Also, finding someone's place of employment and blasting their employee for acting like a dick head is not against the law.
I'll state this again for you to ignore. Most people don't like how you speak with this " I know it all" attitude about everything and every topic.
The truth is that you don't know it all. You don't know what you are talking about here. You aren't a cop. You aren't a lawyer. You are stating your opinions. So maybe try prefacing your erroneous words with "IMO" or "Just my thoughts" or perhaps " I could be wrong on this but"...
Life is a lesson.
But you aren't learning.

First off you didn’t provide two examples, who provided half of one in your first link, the second “example” is you asking on a free consultation site if “you can sue if you get canceled” and them saying yes but it’ll be hard to prove
As far as your first example goes, it’s some dumb broad who bragged about going to the Jan 6th riots, her being fired by her employer over whatever, her suing and literally no out come.
This is why people consider you a fucking moron. You can easily sue over wrongful termination or defamation BUT YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT

Again, read what you post please. There is currently no tort for canceling. Key words "you may be able to sue in civil court"
