    Sin of omission vs commission.. When a cop doesn't explicitly read you your Miranda rights because they want you to incriminate yourself by delaying access to counsel, they aren't lying per se. You are expected to know that cops can exploit you but you, naively, expect good faith behavior from them. FD - see my profile.

  It is ominous. You are being farmed. If you are not aware what the service is costing you, you are being exploited. Are there some more benign terms to use to spin this? Or are the correct terms negatively loaded for a reason? This is particularly important if you believe minors should not be able to enter contracts. By using 'free' services, they are selling something unknowingly, maybe something they can't get back. "additional terms or product requirements (including age requirements) may apply" is there for a reason; an attempt to avoid liability.
