LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionnaire lists « annulé » as an adjective meaning that something has become void or no longer has effect. The social-media sense follows « cancel culture », which Wiktionnaire defines as the ostracism of a public figure who fails a group's norms, calls a 21st-century borrowing from English, and documents with Le Monde (29 November 2019) and France Culture (2020), the latter suggesting « annulation » as a translation. A 2023 20 minutes sentence shows the idea in use. The adjective « annulé » itself in this sense is a recent term; no dated source found yet.
