That petition made national news at 2000 signatures.
2000 is virtually meaningless, in a country of 300 million people, and yet it was getting significant news coverage.

What's funny to me is, at least in my feed, these stories are shared most by people who use them to decry cancel culture. This in turn drives clicks to these stories and creates the demand for them, amplifying the impact of those 2,000 people in exactly the opposite way they intend to.
Anyway, it's possible NYT wrote that article knowing it would be a hot-button article and would be shared widely by anti cancel culture people.
Those not privy are being brainwashed into kowtowing to the whims of the intolerant Twitter mob.
