RE: 850$ returned to the reward pool. Shout-out to fellow cleaners!
To those who are claiming steem is for investors and they have the right to do whatever they want with their SP:
No they can't. Steem is an asset. And when a investor uses this asset to promote content that is illegal, they can be prosecuted for that. That of course depends on whether the copyright owner wants to sue him/her or not. In severe cases, for example if the content upvoted is CP then these investors will be in deep shit.
There are some limitations on the potential prosecution that can happen to those whom upvote content on here. This is due to certain international litigation etc but for the most part I agree that people whom invest without caring should be more cautious.
You should make a whole post on this and ask legal advice, this is very next level stuff.
