Basically I am speculating that the government is generating the Cancel Crisis through extremely boring administrative law that most Americans know nothing about. I am skeptical of any improvement because it is from the Civil Rights Act and no way is anyone touching that

There are problems with this story. First, firms very frequently do not fire people in response to internal complaints, and very commonly protect the subject of the complaints amd even retaliate against the complainer. Cancel culture appears to be much more effective.

That is to say, external pressure has far stronger effects. This suggests the problem is not fear of traditional employment law liability.

The idea that discrimination law has contributed to making firms structurally left-wing in some ways is reasonable. But I do not think cancelled people are typically fired due to lawsuit-shyness.

of course not! Companies know how to deal with lawsuits. They have lawyers for that. What they can't deal with is whisper campaigns, boycotts, people going on TV and making opinionated-but-not-actionable statements about them.

Legal action has clearly-defined processes and limits and outcomes, there'a a mediator who's required to give equal consideration to your response. Social media ain't like that, the sky's the limit and nobody cares what *you* say.
