Rant: People keep forgetting that "cancelled" doesn't mean they went to jail

I'm in a few local Facebook groups in Orlando and every time someone brings up a cancelled influencer, half the comments are like "they should be in prison" or "they got what they deserved legally." Like no, that's not how this works. Take that food blogger from Tampa who got cancelled for faking charity donations - she didn't commit a crime, she just lost her sponsors and followers. Why do people mix up losing business with actual legal punishment?

Did one of my friends actually get death threats because people thought she should be in prison for posting a bad review of a local restaurant? Yeah, that happened. The internet is wild about mixing up being cancelled with being a criminal.

Just muted notifications and let it blow over, worked out fine.
