Abstract(s)
“Cancel culture” has become a central topic in debates on freedom of expression in Western societies. Initially seen as spontaneous and transient, recent cases reveal the influence of organized pressure groups whose activism extends beyond social media, sometimes threatening academic freedom and the plurality of debate. In a digital environment that fosters simplification and polarization, such practices risk undermining dignity, truth, and freedom. This paper draws a parallel with classical antiquity, recalling Tacitus’ account of political and literary persecution under Tiberius (Annales 4.34–35), to highlight the continuity of mechanisms of “cancellation” from antiquity to the present.
