A really interesting contribution – thanks Patricia! Philip Young has also looked at astroturfing from within the ethical principles of access, process, truth and discolsure put forward by Kathy Ftizpatrick.
However, it appears that once again the base issue is transparency. Who is controlling the campaign? If that is in the open – so are your motives – and everything takes a step towards being ethical.
