English term or phrase: financial induced self-censorship (fiscing)
The context is an article on techniques used to silence journalists in certain countries.

The author opposes the "messy" way of murder, to the "tidy" way of using financial pressure.

Although the meaning is quite obvious, I am not sure how to best translate this expression into French, especially the term "fiscing"which follows it and which is actually my problem as it is not a normal word but an acronym of the above expression.

Here is the sentence:

Murder can lead to awkward questions, and if the victim is a journalist or a lawyer, may attract uncomfortable international attention.
But as revenues drain away from traditional media due to the inroads of digital technologies, the use of financial-induced self-censorship, or “fiscing,” can also ensure that journalists are more “reasonable” in their reporting.
