A GoFundMe campaign meant to raise money for a group of truckers who have stationed themselves in Ottawa to protest Canada’s unethical vaccine mandates and passports nearly had its $10 million stolen by GoFundMe after they decided to label the group’s demonstration an “occupation” and took down their fundraiser, despite the service previously allowing fundraisers for the “autonomous zone” that was made in Seattle.
GoFundMe took down the Freedom Convoy fundraiser (which had accrued as much as $10 million) after being pressured by those who oppose the harmless protest, with them issuing a statement:
They stated that they “now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.”
In a statement Friday, the company said “Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.”
“Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest,” the statement continued.
“Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities verified by GoFundMe.”
As noted in the statement, GoFundMe has chosen to outright steal the $10 million donated to the campaign and it will allegedly be redistributed to their “verified charities”.
GoFundMe later stated they would refund all those who donated to the campaign, however:
Many haven’t forgotten when GoFundMe allowed a fundraiser for a so-called farmer of the actual Marxist occupation that happened in Seattle, which led to the shooting murder of a 16-year-old boy and left a 14-year-old in serious condition (it is said this tweet was made after the murders happened):
It should also be mentioned that the Freedom Convoy was hit with a class-action lawsuit around the same time their fundraiser was shut down.
GFM is only saying they’ll auto refund to avoid chargebacks, the smart people will do it anyways to ping the f♥♥k out of their service and give it a bad rap.
Agreed. People should immediately start charging back their donations. Also, I’d argue that Gofundme is intentionally taking their time in the refund process (to try and prevent people with less money to resend the truckers money). 7-10 days is unacceptable for digital transaction refunds.
Nice propaganda, Sancucku.
No charge backs are only $15 a person they are doing it to stop people from using the arbitration clause like uber had and lost. Their fees which they pay even if they win is $35k PER case. So if i few hundred people do it their out serious money EVEN if they win which given how they supported blm and chaz they likely wouldnt.
No, there’s something we can do to make them bleed money. I forgot what it was but something like mass suit that will have them pay the fees for every single arbitration. Do that instead. It’s the only way these fucks would learn.
But there is money given in cash and other non-traceable, and enter:
(oh we let you know and we gave you a deadline..)
If you don’t go get it, it’s ours to do what we want..
I hope these truck drivers stop by the headquarters of these embezzlers.. and be peaceful like BLM and Antifa!!
Really the world becomes a home for criminals and justice and government help..to make it worse!!!
But what are you going to do when you need help with your medical treatments, stupid loser? Rely on the government?
???
Not everyone is a fat f♥♥k like you, buddy.
chaz/chop occupation is still happening with r♥♥e/murder. pretty sure they still have a gofundme page. blm was never pulled regardless doing over 3 billion worth of damages and have killed people.
BLM was also filled with convicted white pedos and rapists, who were bailed out by Sony, Pokemon Company and other baby-raping companies.
But people love throwing money at them anyway. I guess there’s nothing more fulfilling than literally funding the abuse and r♥♥e of your own women and children.
hahahah great man
sony may have funded them, but the democrats were responsible for criminals being released under “muh covid” reason to infest the streets with crime under one condition… they march under blm flag.
What they didn’t expect was patriots like Kyle Rittenhouse shooting back. They went quiet as f♥♥k when people started to shoot back.
GFM canceled Kyle defense fund even though he was innocent and finally walked as a free man. But Jacob Blake received millions from GFM for kidnapping kids pulling a knife on cops.
You mean the same Kyle Rittenhouse that supports blm?
GoFundMe are partisan hacks and I partly blame the organisers for hosting their campaign there. Did they seriously not see that coming?
GFM attempted to steal people’s money and donate them to “charities” (read people they approve of). They are not a viable platform and alternatives should be used.
Real winners don’t panhandle for money on the net. These guys are losers.
Real winners anon in the comments, bet you pay thots for farts in a jar you piece of s♥♥t.
Just wait till the truckers start blocking major highways. Holy s♥♥t let them have a gofund me ffs
They tried facebook shutdown groups for us truckers taht were going to do this in washingon dc
They blocked the Montana/Alberta border, very busy border at that. With both sides telling people to use a different route.
So they can get shot and/or arrested, great idea bruh. Really ‘dealing with it’ 😀
Until the cops approach the truckers, turn around, and start working guard duty against an oppressive Government.
But shouldn’t this thing that GoFundMe is doing be illegal? The money should go to the Freedom Convoy movement or be returned to the donors. Can a company just take the money from donations and decide what it wants to do with the money?
I’m not American, but what I know is that the governor of Florida, I think his name is DeSantis, has opened an investigation now to check for fraud in the GoFundMe company. Georgia is doing the same. I think the owner of the company better get ready for what’s coming.
To hand over money to violent movements like BLM but keep denying it to a movement that has had no violence so far like Freedom Convoy, is very much a double standard.
With all this censorship in anime/manga, do you still use paypal? I ask, why use paypal in an era of cryptocurrencies? Anyone who uses these sites like Paypal, GFM, KickStarter, Patreon and others deserve to have their account looted.
It is illegal. Georgia’s attorney general has begun an investigation into this matter and announced as such this morning.
Address the point, please.
Likely similar cope libtards feel when they think that tomorrow will be the day that Biden does something Presidential – that doesn’t involve shitting his pants in front of the Pope.
