Cancel culture is predominantly a left-wing phenomenon. To say it bluntly: "the left" labels speech they disagree with as violent and clearly wants it banned.

"Extremism" is in the eyes of the beholder. We saw 6 months of violent insurrection by BLM and Antifa, which were organized on Twitter and Facebook. Apple, Google, and Amazon didn't ban either apps. People on the left called them "mostly peaceful protests."

The Jan 6 events were organized, shared, and streamed on Facebook and Twitter. None of the Jan 6th events were organized on Parler, yet Parler gets removed. See the problem?
