Does cancel culture threaten freedom of speech?

Nowadays, social media enables us to convey whatever message to the world. This way people with same ideas can be united and create group or movement. We can notice that cancel culture has risen up in society with social media. It is now up to a point where some denounce cancel culture for threatening freedom of speech.
To start with, cancel culture consists in singling out people for immoral actions, such as racist, homophobic and sexist actions and then ostracizing them. So they are set apart from society. This has been the case with J.K Rowling, the woman who wrote Harry Potter, when she claimed that there are only two genders and that it is stupid to say otherwise. She has been blamed for doing that. What happened next is that she has been set apart. Even actors from the movie Harry Potter acted as if she didn’t exist. So, there is no denying that cancel culture constitutes a problem to freedom of speech.
In addition, cancel culture is a problem for freedom of speech as it consists in ostracizing someone for what he claimed. So, many can’t back their ideas, for cancel culture hampers their freedom of speech. This problem is often shown in the educational system, because it prevents students and teacher from expressing themselves. Indeed, in some universities in California students can’t say what they want in order not to hurt some people, especially those from minorities. Those rules who regulate people’s word are threatening freedom of speech as students are now scared to share some of their point of view. Of course students, who have problematic points of view, despite what they have been told, such as racist, sexist and homophobic ones, generally know with who they can’t say what they think. But the others are still afraid of being ostracized for ideas they do not have. Cancel culture threatens those students’ freedom of speech.
So, cancel culture is quite problematic. On the one hand, many can’t express themselves as they’d wished they can. But on the other hand, many won’t be offended. I think that although cancel culture was meant to regulate people’s word, it has gone too far and brought about many problems. Freedom of speech is in danger and nobody will say it, because it opposes cancel culture. True it is good and important not to offend the others, but when it hampers freedom of speech, it is no longer something good. By freedom of speech I mean : Being able to say what we are thinking while paying attention to others’ feelings, but if someone is offended, it is way better for the offender to apologize and talk with the offended to understand rather than ostracizing the offender.

All in all, I for one think cancel culture is clearly threatening freedom, even if it has good intentions and it has to be understood, because the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Very good English usage. Be careful with commas!

It is now up toat a point where some denounce cancel culture for threatening freedom of speech.

To start with, cancel culture consists inof singling out people out for immoral actions, such as racist, homophobic and sexist actions and then ostracizing them.

She has been blamed for doing that.

This is accurate, but you would only really used "blame" if it's uncertain whether or not the person did the action (e.g. "the man was blamed for stealing the bike" - in this case, people are saying the man stole the bike, but we don't know for certain if he did or not). Because you said in the last sentence that J.K. Rowling definitely did do that, saying she was "blamed" for it is slightly odd. It might be better to say:
"She has been criticised for doing that" ("criticized" in American English).

What happened next is that she hwas been set apartostracised.

"Ostracize" in American English.

In addition, cancel culture is a problem for freedom of speech as it consists inof ostracizing someone for what he claimed.

It's increasingly common nowadays to use "they" instead of "he" in contexts like this.
