This idea would put voat in a very dangerous legal position. No you can't actually put that the content may be illegal in your country. As a server, voat is linking to objects that may exist in countries around the world. The culpability of voat would increase if they willingly served images that may be illegal. Then if a government decided to perform a legal remedy against voat, they would use the disclaimer as evidence that voat knew it was serving illegal content.
The best way to approach any kind of legality of content is through takedown policy. Have a strict policy against illegal content and have a reporting system that is transparent to eff.org standards and THAT IS ALL YOU NEED.
Anything else will put voat in a quagmire... which is what SJWs want.
