This was being discussed on NPR this morning.
Online definition -
The act of canceling, also referred to as cancel culture (a variant on the term "callout culture"), is a form of boycott in which an individual (usually a celebrity) who has acted or spoken in a questionable or controversial manner is boycotted.

In the old days they just called it a "book burning".
