With the rise of Social Media we have seen so much positive. Never before are we able to connect whether with family a strange or even a celebrity. But as social media become more and more popular people feel the need to have a say in the lives of those they don't know and when things get ugly people can be "cancelled". Is cancel culture affective? Can someone be cancelled, or should they be held accountable instead. On this episode, Michelle has three guest (Chan, Greg and Drake) on to discuss their views on cancel culture.
