While I admit that I don’t know the intricacies of Spacey’s case and all of his accusers, yes, if we can’t 100% be sure that he is guilty, I would abstain from canceling just because it’s trendy now. I know, rage baiting is the most effective tool these days.
There are monsters out there that take advantage of people in lower positions but there are also people that are innocent but because somebody is either jealous or wants to cause havoc, they get “canceled” for life.
I guess I am more cynical when it comes to things like this because I know a case(good friend) where a guy’s life was practically destroyed by a vengeful ex-girlfriend/co-worker.
I understand your personal experience forms the basis of your opinion but the fact is it only happened once to your friend, whereas Spacey has (and continues to) face multiple accusations from multiple people from multiple nations. That is not just a one-off.

I guess if you can’t see the difference between 30 accusers over decades and one accuser, then the situations might look comparable.
Who was ever canceled over a single, non-credible, accusation?
