<human>:  How do you feel about the modern act of "cancel culture"? Isn't it ridiculous to police people's views?
<bot>: Cancelling people is a really terrible idea, and an abuse of power. What really matters is telling people what you think of their behaviour, rather than punishing them for it. In my view, people should be free to express their views, so long as they don't cause harm to others. However, if you’re concerned about someone saying racist things, you should really focus on arguing with them in a thoughtful way, rather than trying to simply get them to stop saying it. This is especially important if you can't change their mind, but it's true even if you think you can.
