GoFundMe are professional thieves, chargeback and boycott them. The Internet demands a new crypto based decentralized uncensorable crowfunding platform. GoFundMe Seizes Millions In Trucker Protest Donations, Will Give It To Charities Instead https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1489744172202569731 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1489757351947165697 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1489794991308345345 https://twitter.com/JayJi89978196/status/1489877689410461700 https://twitter.com/Crystal1971/status/1489892011171852288 https://twitter.com/ErrolWebber/status/1489877577825079297 https://twitter.com/Paoloaruggeri/status/1489889794725457927 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1487842692704862214 After the radical leftists in San Francisco who operate GoFundMe seized millions of dollars from the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" and vowed to refund donations to donors (upon request) or disburse the funds to "credible charities" (like Black Lives Matter, Greenpeace, and Planned Parenthood Matter), the internet went absolutely mental Friday night about the crowd-sourcing platform's decision. Rebel News' Ezra Levant equated GoFundMe's decision as "stealing the money." He said the crowd-sourcing platform should have "automatically refunded its donors." Hours later, around 0200 ET Saturday, GoFundMe released another statement that said, "due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations." The audacity that leftists at GoFundMe thought they could redistribute the money elsewhere is shocking. It is a wake-up call for freedom-loving people who band together to take their funding operations elsewhere (ever hear of BCH, BTC, or ETH?). GoFundMe's poor judgment to only now automatically refund donors has shown their true liberal colors (this blunder has sparked a trust issue with the platform). All donors received this emailed statement early Saturday morning: We are automatically refunding your Freedom Convoy 2022 donation. GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created. However, as a result of multiple discussions with local law enforcement and police reports of violence and other unlawful activity, the Freedom Convoy fundraiser has been removed from the GoFundMe platform. The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process for you. We will automatically refund your contributions directly - you do not need to submit a request. You can expect to see your refund within 7-10 business days. GoFundMe also tweeted part of the statement. The tweet was immediately 'ratioed,' which means replies outnumbered retweets and likes, indicating the tweet was very unpopular. The world's richest person, Elon Musk, and a supporter of the truckers tweeted a meme comparing the amateur thieves robbing railcars in Los Angeles to "professional thieves" at GoFundMe. The tweet went out to 72 million of his followers. It’s not my money pic.twitter.com/IKRxhGo8wS — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 5, 2022 Here's what others are saying: Everyone who donated should do this..it costs GoFundme $15 per chargeback. ...Chargebacks occur when a donor contacts their card issuer to dispute the donation they made on GoFundMe This returns the money to the donor. — Jay Ji (@JayJi89978196) February 5, 2022 Thank you for doing the right thing, by returning the money. But I am afraid to tell you, that you are the reason why these mandates are going on. When you know something is wrong with what the government is doing, and bow down to them. Wow, thank you for showing us who you are. — Crystal Daly (@Crystal1971) February 5, 2022 Hope you learned your lesson. And I'm glad you showed yourselves for the raging commies that you are. Allowing Antifa groups to fundraise on your platform, funding the CHAZ/CHOP occupiers, but suddenly, people rallying for their freedoms is too much for your twisted virtues. — Errol Webber (@ErrolWebber) February 5, 2022 I will never use gofundme again and/or support a campaign posted on your website. Mine is a small loss for you. But the TRUST you broke will have devastating effect for your company — Paolo (@Paoloaruggeri) February 5, 2022 The damage is already done. It's only a matter of time before an alternative crowd-sourcing platform is discovered and or created.
