So you wouldn't consider having #f0f0f0 color text on a #ffffff background in 2pt font stating that it's a recurring $bignum payment each month as a fraud? Dark

So you wouldn't consider having #f0f0f0 color text on a #ffffff background in 2pt font stating that it's a recurring $bignum payment each month as a fraud? Dark patterns are certainly a thing... Just how much notification and approval is needed before it's not fraud or otherwise deceitful and questionable legality?

If a user disputed a charge that was presented in that way, then the chargeback isn't fraudulent IMHO. The user didn't know that the charge was recurring. Services shouldn't be telling users a charge is recurring, users should be telling websites that they want to auto-renew. The default should always be a non-recurring charge and selecting anything else should require an email confirmation.
