> 9. Engaging in deceptive marketing practices (here: who decides what is 'deceptive')

If you have to ask whether you're being deceptive, or the answer depends on who decides, you're doing something horribly wrong.

Except I could argue that most major company's sales pages are deceptive. I mean just look at cellular or cable services in the US, find me ANY that isn't being deceptive in one way or another.

Heck I'd even argue that Google Fiber's page has several statements and claims which are suspect.

And cellular and cable companies are some of the most hated in the US, not least of which for deceptive practices.
