Prechecked cross sales do surfers have any responsibility whatsoever?

I just showed a join page to my 22 year old son. I asked him if he were buying how he would go about it.

He looked at the sign up page that had one pre-checked box and one unchecked box.

He looked the page over for a minute.

“I thought you wouldn’t have to buy porn”? he said

“Would you please throw me a bone here and pretend your buying it” I said

He grabbed the mouse and unchecked the pre-checked box and checked the one that had been unchecked (it was less expensive)

“I would probably get this one but not both”

I asked him if he thought the pre-checked box was deceptive

“No I can see it right there . . . but if it were unchecked I probably wouldn’t have noticed either of them”

Let me add he was not coached and the boxes were in full view without scrolling at all.

My take! There is a line between “suggestive selling” and “sneaky selling”

Hey sweetie, were the boxes above, or below the "submit" button?
