Description

Second page when you sign a petition asks you to “confirm” your signature; if you do not actively *uncheck* an already-checked box, you have just added yourself to one or a bunch of mailing lists. So, the pre-check masquerades as an opt-in, but effectively you need to take an action to opt out.
