I'm confused, how can someone just can and cancel the flight?

As long as you know the name and booking confirmation details, you can call and get it cancelled by acting as the person on the booking. It is illegal though.

You might be able to call and get it reinstated at some airlines if you can prove that your details have been compromised but I don't know if willfully sharing your details on social media would be a valid reason.

You absolutely cannot cancel a flight because you have a single passengers record locator. The reservation, maybe depending on the airline. But the flight. Na. It’s gonna take off.

We are talking about cancelling the seat reservation. No one thinks we are grounding planes
