Speculation on why the Get fairshare tipbot keeps getting shut down

For those of you not familiar with get fair share, it is a community dedicated to this idea of universal basic Income. In my own words basically, it is the idea that everyone is entitled to a basic standard of income regardless of employment status. They cite one issue with welfare is work is disincentive as working might cause one to lose their welfare status. Universal basic income solves this problem by providing money for impoverished people (  and rich people), but also it allows them to work and make more money, allowing the incentive to work to exist.

In an article i recently wrote for coinbuzz I spoke about how ISIS has been given instruction on how to use bitcoin recently, I also spoke about how giving bitcoin to ISIS is illegal. This is seen in the case of Bryce Weiner, and US Law. I have more details in my past article.

It recently dawned on me that changetip stopped Bryce Weiner's tip from going through for personal liability reasons.  If this is the case, perhaps reddit is doing the same thing. Perhaps if the fairshare bot gave money to a terrorist organization, Reddit itself could be fined. Again, this is speculation, but I think it has merit.
