So are tech giants going to have to independently check with Bear Grylls which companies he gave permission to use his likeness in an advert?
I sort of accept the argument that the tech giants shouldn't be profiting from the government putting warning messages on their sites (as there's a moral hazard of them allowing more fraud so that more warnings are needed), but making tech giants "responsible" for the fraud is like making road builders responsible for drunk drivers.
