ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE: JORDAN PETERSON, JOE ROGAN, etc

Last week Jordan Peterson announced his resignation from the Toronto University due to several reasons. He claimed that the University is only admitting new researches as long as they belong to any minority, and that white young men have no opportunity whatsoever to get a position given the current situation. Peterson's claims went further, though. He also stated that his students have even less opportunities just because he was not regarded as "desirable" because of his ideas weren't atoned with the political thinking of the University.
In the same week, Neil Young and other artists demanded Spotify retire the Joe Rogan podcast based on alleged "medical mis and disinformations". Just because some of his guests spoke differently about COVID vaccines and other issues, he was asked to be suppressed from the platform. That didn't happen, at least for now, but it makes me think about freedom of speech, the cancel culture and how our society is stepping into a black hole.

In my country it is getting more and more difficult every single day to speak freely about many issues like feminism, race, etc. If you are against the mainstream thinking you are called names, and not beautiful ones. I am a woman who have questioned this new feminism many times, and been called many things just for expressing my opinion. Critical thinking seems to be becoming a dangerous activity.

In some other universities there were several cases which I tend to consider rather critical. That is the case of, for example what happened to Brett Weinstein at the Evergreen State College or to Nicholas Christakis at Yale. You can study these cases and many others in a very interesting book called "The coddling of the American Mind".

So I guess my point is: what are your opinions about what is going on right now in many places? Do you think that free speech is at risk?

Thanks in advanced for your replies!!
