virtue-purchase

Similar to virtue signalling but done by means of buying trendy goods or services so as to display one's sense of contrived self-superiority: items such as books by politically correct authors, garish artwork purported to save rain-forests, or FairTrade coffee that makes the buyer feel woke; faddishly leftist buying habits that conform to intersectionality and other expressions of socially popular SJW pseudoscience, especially popular among university students.
Asheleigh-Meghan isn't going to actually read Michelle Obama's new book. She just bought it to put on the coffee table in case one of her black classmates shows up unexpectedly. It's more of a virtue-purchase.

hatemuting

A method of expressing hatred by muting opposing viewpoints and gagging free speech. Hatemuting is practiced by Facebook, Twitter, and Google by means of an algorithm to surreptitiously restrict the distribution of posts for political reasons, such as by shadowban. They may also mute speech by outright removing non-conformist posts. Hatemuting is done by YouTube largely through demonitization or outright removal of politically incorrect videos. Hatemuting is similar to hatespeech but is accomplished by controlling and preventing the freedom of expression by the hated group.
I've been posting on Facebook, you're just not seeing anything in your feed from me because Cuckerberg is hatemuting anything that's politically incorrect.
