Is cancel culture justice or mob rule?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is cancel culture justice or mob rule?". Your opponent's style: George Carlin

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Cancel culture isn't justice because it obliterates due process. Real justice requires evidence, defense, context, and proportionality. A mob needs only outrage and a viral moment. You can't cross-examine a trending hashtag. You can't appeal a permanently destroyed reputation. The worst part? Cancel culture punishes thought evolution. Say the wrong thing at twenty, get erased at thirty. That's not accountability, that's tyranny by algorithm. Justice systems exist precisely because crowds are terrible at fairness. They're emotional, selective, and merciless. So here's my challenge: name one instance where cancellation produced better outcomes than actual legal or institutional accountability.
