The fundraising platform said it wanted to 'ensure the funds are going to the intended recipients'..
GoFundMe paused the fundraising page for the Freedom Convoy 2022 after it surpassed $10 million Wednesday.
"This fundraiser is currently paused and under review to ensure it complies with our terms of service and applicable laws and regulations," read a notice at the top of the convoy's GoFundMe page, as of Wednesday evening.

Before being suspended, the GoFundMe page for the Freedom Convoy 2022 made more than $10.1 million since having been established on Jan. 14. That amount far exceeded the amount raised by Canada's major political parties last quarter.
...
News stories began circulating last week reporting that the convoy's GoFundMe page was frozen and organizers needed to outline how the millions of dollars in raised funds would be spent. A GoFundMe spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Monday that organizers did detail how the funds would be spent and that they withdrew $1 million to support their effort.

Provide a service of helping to raise money then just seizing the money. Pretty good scam they got there.
“Ensure the funds are going to the intended recipients “
Oh yeah SUUUUUUURE, that’s what you goons want!
Hopefully, the Adopt-a-trucker program we suggested (and they implemented) is still going on strong.
American Truck Convoy: DO NOT use GoFundMe. Please implement the adopt-a-trucker strategy.
That is all.
This is why Go Fund Me should not be used. They shut down conservative operations. Give Send Go should be used.
Sue “GoFundMe” its NOT their money or prerogative!
It doesn’t matter which country it is, the tactics of the fascists are the same: Isolate and disparage the protesters. Smear them and call them ‘white supremacists. Threaten them with military intervention while you’re at it.
No kidding. that’s going to put a dent in future business for them.
They should buy some better politicians.
Why do people keep using gofundme?
Why do people keep using farcebook?
I wish the USA in 2022 understood communism like the USA did in 1942……..
I want to hear from the truckers about this... the last time this happened, Benjamin Dichter one of the truckers organizers came out in their press conference and said that most of what was being said about it was fake news.
Their latest update information was 16 hours ago and said this... https://www.facebook.com/Freedom-Convoy-2022-100286905896085/
Donations through Go Fund Me have currently been paused ...

We continue to thank you all for your support.
ALL of big tech/social media is captured by the deep-state
Not sure how that’s legal but then again, if you can steal an election you can pretty much do what you want (Yea, the government is obviously in on this). Why people keep using these leftist organizations I just don’t know
Karens who watch too much TV ?
Does Go Fund Me have stock like Facebook ?
As an aside...this is a great example of why crypto currencies work. No one can “seize” them or “stop” them.
Someone setting up a crypto Go Fund me would be able to get the “currency” to where it should go.
It’s pretty clear that GoFundMe is operating outside the law now.
Using fabricated excuses to seize customer cash is a swindle. They are engaging in trans national fraud.
Every day they hold that cash they make money on it.
This is what, the 93rd time these little SOBs did this?
The usual excuses don’t pass the smell test.
It’s obvious that they are engaged in a confidence scheme that would normally put people in jail. But where is the worthless Treasury department and FBI? AWOL.
Elon Mush was the single largest donor.... Good man.
This isn’t isolated any more than Twit bans or Fakebook censorship. Who decided to use these creeps??!?
