The checked box is an example of the status quo bias, which is the tendency of individuals to stick to the current default or pre-existing option. In this case, the default option is to receive news of new products, and individuals have to actively uncheck the box if they do not want to receive such news. The option to receive news of new products is the status quo, and people tend to be influenced by it.
