Abstract
What are the ethical challenges posed by mass self-communication and trial by social media? I investigate cancel culture through a case study of a teacher accused of racism based on a decontextualised video, highlighting the consequences of hasty public judgment without due process. A novel method of moderating call-out videos on YouTube is proposed aimed at moderating this action by pairing the call-out and the response videos together. Further, I discuss the role of deepfake technology in shaping public perceptions as well as the monopolistic power of social-media platforms in controlling the dissemination of news and their responsibilities in mitigating the adverse effects of cancel culture.
