General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / word palavra | | Portuguese term or phrase: (publicidade) cooptante | Contexto:
A ocultação dos fatos, mascarada por publicidade enganosa, massificante, cooptante e aliciante, além da dependência química e psíquica, não permitia e não permite ao indivíduo a faculdade da livre opção, pois sempre houve publicidade apelativa, sobretudo em relação aos jovens, sendo necessário um verdadeiro clamor público mundial para frear a ganância da indústria e obrigar o Poder Público à adoção de medidas de prevenção a partir de determinações emanadas de órgãos governamentais.

| Reference: Parece-me...
Reference information:
Parece-me algo como "cúmplice", como se a publicidade fosse cúmplice e negligente ao mesmo tempo, quase como uma histeria em massa (ou negligência criminosa). Ela concordou (co-optou) em fazer a publicidade, provavelmente por obter benefícios disso ($$$), tornando-se negligentemente cúmplice.
O texto é sobre a indústria do cigarro?
Tentando ajudar... :)
