It is about statements in negative form, for example:
"Because we hate spam as much as you do!"
"We hate spam as much as you do! We never sell or disclose your name or e-mail address to third parties. For more information, please see our privacy policy."

Now the author claims, that it has the contrary effect, because it is formulated negative, so the readers would get remembered of what they DON'T want.
