It's bad for branding; the Inquirer is hand-wringing about having their name and logo next to things that they don't want to defend. This kind of organization really shouldn't be in the comment business at all, but got convinced it was necessary in order to keep up with the future.
If not for "platforming = endorsing", cancel-culture wouldn't exist and we'd all live happier lives. It's all corporations acting like really shallow teenagers.
