The “cancellations” on social networks. There are strong clashes between those who defend freedom of expression as a fundamental right and those who raise the “place of speech” to the category of superiority, especially when the subject is related to identity and minority issues. The polarization of the networks gave extreme contours to this clash. The solution may be balance, temperance. Aristotle, and mediation, the moral virtue. Sartre, freedom with responsibility. Such is the foundation of sustainability, whose objective is aggregation, never any kind of exclusion. It has already been said that social networks tribalize shared culture. “Bubbles” form. “Cancellation”, although motivated by ethical-political issues, destroys more subjects than ideas and is opposed to democracy. In place of “cancellation”, acceptance, responsibility for the Other (and respect for their uniqueness), which does not involve the dimension of duty, but the recognition of the Face: ecosophy.
