This is a you problem. Not the services problem. A service can chose to send whatever images and code it likes. It’s their choice, not yours. You have some choices in your end, depending on your browser. Render images, execute JavaScript, load plugins, store cookies.
Why sites might do what you expect is because they want you to visit the site again. That is the only reason a site has any reason to do what the user expected. CNN could simply start serving a new site today that offers online shopping. Your expectations might be for a news website, but they does not matter at all. Your expectations are not a contract.
