This innovative insurance policy offers a lifeline to stars facing the tumultuous world of social media scrutiny. How might this insurance impact the dynamics of social media interactions?
The Rise of Cancel Culture Insurance
The UK-based PR firm Borkowski has introduced the world’s first insurance policy designed to combat the effects of cancel culture. This innovative service, backed by Samphire Risk, a Lloyd’s of London agency, offers comprehensive support for celebrities and high-profile individuals facing public backlash.
The policy, named “Preempt,” includes a 24/7 emergency hotline, security advice, and dedicated crisis PR support. It aims to fill the gaps in traditional corporate policies by providing personalized assistance for those caught in the crosshairs of public outrage.

The Impact of Cancel Culture
The creation of this insurance policy underscores the significant impact of cancel culture on public figures. Mark Borkowski, one of the minds behind Preempt, emphasizes the ease with which individuals can be canceled due to social media actions.
“Sharing or liking a tweet can bring the whole world down on you […] The cancel button is the new guillotine [and] one mistake is your epitaph. It’s too easy to take a position on things… without being thoughtful,” Borkowski stated, highlighting the precarious nature of public life in the digital age.
While the cost of the insurance policy remains unspecified, it is presumed to be high, targeting celebrities and high-net-worth individuals who can afford such protection. This development signals a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive crisis management frameworks tailored to digital reputational threats.
