Cancel culture isn't about a company banning things, it's about an outrage mob getting angry to the point where it becomes untenable for a company to defend an individual that hasn't broken the law.

What you are talking about is something completely different. That's not even cancel culture. It's upholding the law and it requires zero opinions from a random outrage mob, you report the content, the company reviews it and immediately deletes it if it goes against the law. There is no petitioning required to pressure a company because the vast majority of companies delete content like that as soon as they can identify its illegal nature.
