GoFundMe, the crowdsourcing online fundraising tool which caters to the left and banned fund raising for Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense is trying to do damage control after people learned of the dirty tactics used by GoFundMe. GoFundMe issues what they call, a clarification regarding their policy on fundraisers for the legal defense of alleged violent crimes. All of a sudden, GoFunndMe is claiming that since Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges, GoFundMe, will allow Rittenhouse’s legal fundraising to resume. Isn’t that convenient?
Too little, too late GoFundMe. We all know you are corrupt. I don’t know if Rittenhouse can sue GoFundMe or not, but if he can, I hope he does.
If someone is acquitted of those charges, as Rittenhouse was today, a fundraiser started subsequently for their legal defense and other expenses would not violate this policy. A fundraiser to pay lawyers, cover legal expenses or to help with ongoing living expenses for a person acquitted of those charges could remain active as long as we determine it is not in violation of any of our other terms and, for example, the purpose is clearly stated and the correct beneficiary is added to the fundraiser.
We are monitoring our site for related fundraisers to try to verify, as we do for all events that have widespread attention, that the funds are going to the intended recipient and that the fundraiser is within our Terms of Service. This process takes time and may slow down the withdrawal process. If the fundraiser does violate our Terms of Service or does not directly benefit the intended beneficiary, we will remove it from the platform.
