Yes, because ignoring the problem has made it go away for the last several years.

Yep. Wanting to be left alone isn't enough. You have to back that up somehow.
People have been unpersoned for having the wrong opinions online.
Less worried about accounts and more worried about digital book burning.
Get real.
People have lost their jobs, lost their lives, committed suicide, been smeared as all kinds of nasty things that weren't true, and more. There already are real world consequences to cancel culture, and have been for years. Hell, did you see the recent stories of people turning in their friends, neighbors, or family either for "Covid violations" or for being at the DC protests? They'll lose their jobs, be fined, or even be jailed.
Sure, it's not (yet) a full on genocidal-style purge like we've seen at points throughout history, but if you're honestly going with the "nothing else happens" argument...you haven't been paying attention.
Yes, getting banned from Twitter is, relatively speaking, not a huge deal. But, to use the leftist vernacular, it's a systemic issue, and it doesn't stop there. It's targeted, it's malicious, it's unequal and, most importantly, it's never enough. They banned the President, and peoples' responses were 'okay, now charge him, jail him impeach him, execute him.'
As the phrase goes, these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.
