Identify the Statement That Would Not Support the Idea That

Question 4

Multiple Choice

Identify the statement that would not support the idea that determining precise standards for what constitutes deception and how best to regulate it is problematical.


A) The primary ethical wrong is in the intent to deceive, to intend to use someone's buying behavior for one's own ends. To prevent this wrong from occurring, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would have to punish on the basis of what it thinks a marketing practice will do to consumers rather that what it actually does to them.
B) It is enough to prevent beforehand harms that deceptive practices might do rather than regulate them after the harms have been done.
C) Regulation might be too strong because it may well turn out that consumers are deceived by relatively trivial marketing practices.
D) Regulation might be too weak if it places the burden on consumers to prove the deception.
