No under his definition any withdrawal of support from a public figure is cancelling.
Cancelling is synonymous with silencing. Cancel culture is synonymous with deplatforming and silencing those that hold and speak different opinions.
Boycotting is actively withdrawing support of something by not participating in or purchasing that thing.
I’m tired of this argument as it’s so plain and clear that boycotts are not cancelling. Can they be part of it? Yes, but boycotting is NOT the same as cancelling.

I went to your website. Look at every other definition of cancelling. It involves the elimination or destruction of something. I’m very curious when that edit was made because that edit does not accurately portray what cancelling is in a cultural sense.
Also, their definition of cancel culture is exceptional vague and widespread and almost like it was expressly written to allow for extremely wide interpretation based on worldview.
I’m a nobody, Webster has not and will never asked me for assistance in curating a definition, but in my wholly unqualified opinion that definition of cancelling and cancel culture is woefully incorrect and lacking.

Right, which is stupid because it still exists, nothing was "canceled."
Firing someone, or removing someone from a job over something they said would be canceling.
Boycotting =/= cancel.
