Answer: Cut-off

Step-by-step explanation:

In the text listed, deracinated refers to individuals who despite being connected via the internet on social media sites, are not connected in the real life which is a direct opposite to people in a neighbourhood who know each other.

The individuals on social networks being referenced here are therefore cut-off from one another which means that whatever claims they make cannot be trusted as they cannot be verified in person.
