I'm well aware they want to, and usually do, do that, but they never should have been given that ability in the first place. SO is in a position to take that option off the table. I'm sure there are plenty of companies willing to give SO money to advertise their product with an image and a link, even if it means they have to trust SO to do what they agree to without being able to stick a nanny-cam in their website.
