As I pointed out before, we do this in small communities all the time. This happens in the workplace, too and it happens in churches. It appears to be a natural thing that humans do to keep others in line with social norms, yet when it happens on a large scale we get a segment of the population that believes it is unfair. Why?
I don't like cancel culture. Imagine if your every action were to be scrutinized by the internet, and the first time you do or say something that doesn't meet a purity test, people actively try to destroy your life.
In real life, bad behavior can be called out by the people who it actually affects. In cancel culture, it is called out by people who it doesn't affect. The average Joe is judge, jury and executioner. There is no room for tolerance or a different life experience.
Cancel culture is no different than the intolerance of religious zealots.
