I want to agree, but terms like “vice” and “virtue” are subjective. To label what Cuckerberg and his ilk are doing as “virtue” signaling lends credibility to their idea that their vice is virtue. Similar to how the GOP calls themselves the party of “law and order”.
Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.
What I love most about the phrase “virtue signaling” is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.
