Good article; the news stories are the tip of an iceberg. The link between cancel culture and labour market precarity is also very unfortunate; if you're economically/contractually insecure, cancel culture is more threatening. And young people are at lower points on career ladders, meaning that they're disproportionately affected. It's very sad that so many younger people are silenced; youth should be a time of spontaneity and self-expression.
In addition, society itself suffers from youth not being able to express itself. There is often brilliance that stems from this expression that is lost with age. I don't know exactly how it works, but I'm not the first to notice youth as having a particular edge in creativity. Repressing it will have longer term effects that will not be very noticeable in the data, though surely will be there.

I'm preparing for creativity stagnation.
