I'm not sure if there is more to this, "article" behind a paywall or if this is it. Go fund me charges their recipients a lot off the top for any money donated. To paraphrase, "Let's GoFundMe"

They are unaware that in the USA a person is innocent until proven guilty?

Based on the gofundme treatment of Kyle, we just went to a lot of trouble to fund a needy person without employing their gofundme account.

“In the wake of Kyle Rittenhouse’s full acquittal, GoFundMe explained why it removed online fundraisers for the teen’s legal fees last year.

“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime,” according to a statement posted to Medium Friday.

The statement went on to say that once charges of violent crime were brought against Rittenhouse in 2020, the company removed any active fundraisers that were started for his legal defense in compliance with their Terms of Service.

If someone with those charges were to be acquitted, “a fundraiser started subsequently for their legal defense and other expenses would not violate this policy,” GoFundMe wrote.”

Kyle’s lawyers don’t need GOFraudMe.
They will make more than enough off coming Civil Suits against Liberal Media.

Go Fund Me trying to get ahead of the lawsuits.

Might as well change their name right now to “You Broke Me.”

So you are guilty until proven innocent. Gofundme uses Soviet style reasoning.

GoFundMe chasing profits and trying to get off the hook at the same time. To be expected.

GoFundMe is going to have a lot of fundraising for all the Propaganda Media that Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyers sue.

They’re too stupid to know better.

I think GiveSendGo is the alternative. Anyone using GoFundMe is nuts.

There have been attempts at non-woke payment processors. But they've been shut down because banks and credit card companies refuse to do business with them.

You can't just throw up a payment processor website. You need the support of VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo, etc.

If all the Big Finance companies boycott you because the ADL or SPLC accuses you of funding "hate," then your website won't be able to process payments.

Not behind a paywall.

Kyle will collect from the leftist media Go Sue Me network for his future legal fees.
