Yes, but authors were dropped by their publishers before the advent of Twitter. Hey, singing 'America The Beautiful' to a White Nationalist crowd giving the Nazi salute might not be the most beneficial thing for your career.

Not everything is the result of 'cancel culture'.

There’s also Linda Fairstein, while technically she didn’t have a book canceled, she was dropped by her publisher which means she’s going to have to find a new one or self publish.
I haven't read up much on Linda Fairstein. She does seem to be the one single concrete example of this happening. Which makes cancel culture as much of a priority for me as voter fraud.
