Astroturfing refers to the practice of disguising marketing campaigns or sponsored messaging as the genuine, unprompted views or grassroots movements of community members.
Explanation of Specific Terms:

- Sponsored messaging: Content or communication funded or influenced by an organization or entity with a vested interest.
- Genuine community members: Individuals who are perceived to be ordinary members of a community, expressing their own opinions or experiences.
Key Points for Beginners:
- Purpose: Astroturfing aims to create the illusion of widespread support or interest for a product, service, or idea, often by using fake accounts or paid endorsements.
- Ethical concerns: It can deceive consumers by presenting biased or misleading information as authentic, undermining trust in online communities.
- Detection: Astroturfing can be identified through patterns of repetitive messaging, inconsistent user engagement, or suspiciously coordinated efforts across platforms.
