No, very simply they are protesting censorship, which is the opposite of what you're implying.

You are saying that boycotting is itself censorship- no, it is a tool, that can be used by many people, with many POVs, and like most tools it can be used as a weapon either in defense of liberty or against it.

I'm not saying that, I was just wondering out loud where people draw the line. Please don't put words in my mouth.
Seemed like a clear implication. Boycotts and cancel culture travel together at times but they are themselves orthogonal.
Well, now you know that I wasn't saying that.
