Christian actor Kevin Sorbo said that Facebook deleted his page despite his having more than 500,000 followers, and the company didn't respond to a request for an explanation for the action.
This is so unacceptable. What is the future going to be like? I suspect this will not end very well.

Quebec Premier calls out cancel culture & woke leftism, promises action to fight back
Legault said, "Freedom of expression is one of the pillars of our democracy. If we compromise on that, we risk having undue censorship spilling out into our political debates and our media."
Quebec Premier François Legault, took to Facebook this weekend to voice his concerns on the growing problem of cancel culture, woke leftism and "radical militants" in the province.
Legault said, "Freedom of expression is one of the pillars of our democracy. If we compromise on that, we risk having undue censorship spilling out into our political debates and our media."
Legault's Facebook post stated that he had heard a lot about academic freedom and free speech, and mentioned that he was troubled by an October incident at the University of Ottawa, where professor Verushka Lieutenant-Duval faced intense backlash for saying an offensive word during a class discussion. He claimed the story had been completely spun out of context and Lieutenant-Duval was harassed, threatened, and doxed by leftist students who wanted her fired.
Quebec's Premier stated that cancel culture is the work of a handful of radical activists whose goal is to censor certain words and actions. He added that he is concerned that cancel culture is infiltrating the mainstream in Quebec, and that this American movement does not represent the values of Quebecers.
Legault went on to talk about recent incidents of cancel culture and woke leftism in Quebec, specifically in the province's post secondary institutions. This included professors being asked not to use the works of some of Quebec's great writers, which included Anne Hébert, Réjean Ducharme, Dany Laferrière ou Pierre Vallières.
"What is really worrying is that more and more people are feeling intimidated and will engage in censoring," Legault said.
Another incident mentioned by the Premier included a university faculty member who was denounced and harassed by leftist students for using the words "man" and "woman." Lagault said that all of this is absurd, goes too far, and goes against the concept of University, which is supposed to be a place that is open to all viewpoints.
Legault added that it is time to for have a serious discussion about cancel culture, political correctness, and wokeness. He said that while he acknowledges some words are hurtful, that does not justify having a radical mob that wants to dictate to everyone what to say via mass censorship.

I fear that progs won't stop until they completely control everything - at least one can say that total control is their objective
Cancel was very effective before the election. After, the govt itself, and not just its permanent bureaucrats will work toward that objective

I dont know of any finnish company who cares about what their employees write in Social Media.
There is no uproar after some random grunt engineer writes something in twitter.
Nobody gives a shit.
American employers are actually following what their employees write in the net... Its insane.

It is insane. If you put on your profile that you work for my company, you are considered a rep of the company. You can get around it by not mentioning CP in your profile.
