That seems stretch. People are getting accounts cancelled on online services they use, where the companies feel they may be morally or legally complicit in the message, or their employees, who decide they don't want to employ that person. I don't think most "cancelled" people are worried about their grocery stores not accepting them, or any number of other services where they aren't a platform used to further the behavior people are upset about.

If you got eyes that required the internet to function you made a poor and dangerous choice regardless of whether the public or some company wants to punish you for some perceived public behavior. If you got eyes that required some company on the internet's continued acceptance of you as a client, you made an even worse choice.
