Cancelling is considered as a totality of social practices used by the society or its part to force social pressure on an individual, group, community or organisation. The main forms and goals of cancelling in various spheres of society are identified, the need for its interdisciplinary research on the methodological basis is given grounds for. The phenomenon of cancelling is considered in different theoretical frameworks. The conflictological interpretation of cancelling focuses on the actors' struggle for material and non-material resources that unfolds mainly in illegal forms. Due to its great destructive potential cancelling is highlighted as a potential danger to economic and labour relations. The political-discursive interpretation considers the phenomenon from the viewpoint of cultural resistance to structural violence undertaken by the marginal groups when it is difficult to call the representatives of elite groups to account due to their privileged position. Designated are some features of development of the phenomenon of cancelling in a modern society: normative blurring of cancelling practices, lack of innovative potential and ability to radically change social relations in a modern society, low efficiency and imitative nature of cancelling practices, transfer of the normative foundations of the minorities' social practices into a universalist context and establishment of privileges for representatives of certain communities, social selectivity and economic motivation of cancelling with the representatives of elite communities. It is recognised that cancelling expansion into the economic, political and cultural spheres of a modern society results in initiating the processes which can be dangerous for its development. Сancelling practices do not only create opportunities and socio-cultural innovations for an individual, but also cause significant problems and obstacles for his professional and other activities. For the society as a whole, cancelling is becoming a source of conflict processes that, instead of fighting the real causes and factors of social oppression, creates new ideological grounds and mechanisms for discrimination.

Résumé « Qu'est-ce qu'il y a à l'intérieur d'une loi ? Qu'est-ce qu'on y voit quand elle est ouverte ? » - Charles Trenet parlait, lui, d'une noix. La loi de 2010 a légalisé les jeux d'argent en ligne dans un marché français jusqu'ici confortablement installé avec ses monopoles et ses industries du jeu hyper cadrées par l'Etat. Quelle était la situation de ce marché avant les assauts d'Internet et de la Commission européenne ? Qu 'ont voulu le gouvernement et les parlementaires législateurs ? Les objectifs régaliens de sécurité et de santé publiques sont-ils préservés ? Quels impacts de l'ouverture sur les opérateurs historiques ou nouveaux entrants ? Le modèle français peut-il servir d'exemple aux autres Etats membres et inspirer les instances communautaires ? Que peut apporter la « revoyure » de novembre 2011 ?

A 2010 Act legalized online gambling within a French market that was well-organized with its monopolies and gambling industries strictly regulated by the state. What was the situation of this market before the offensive of the Internet and of the European Commission? What were the goals of the government and the law-making authority? Are the sovereign missions of the state regarding security and public health well preserved? What impact will the new opening have on the historical and the new actors of the industry? Can the French model serve as an example for the other member states and inspire the Community authorities? What can the planned revision of November 2011 bring about? Adapted from the source document.
