  > - You invited me to dinner, went to shopping, bought some stuff to cook, one ingredient was bad, I got poisoned. The difference is due diligence. In picking ingredients and preparing them the host of this dinner has most likely taken care to use what they have good reason to believe a reputable sources and methods. People placing add on sites and in apps are doing no such thing for the most part - beyond concerns of outrageously illegal adverts or those that might otherwise offend their audience directly, they are simply picking the provider that is likely to pay them the most. This is insufficient due diligence so they shouldn't be able to pass the buck, but they can because there are so many levels of indirection in the industry it becomes difficult to prove who failed most. There is commonality with your food example: the recent meat source problems in Europe when cheap horse meat was unexpectedly found in many places it shouldn't have been. This highlighted how little due diligence was happening at various points in that industry and the fact that the many levels of supplier supplying supplier supplying supplier made it easy for problems to go unnoticed as no one thought it was them that needed to check.
