GoFundMe seizes funds of Canadian trucker convoy

[GeorgiaModerate]

Being patriotic is not allowed anymore. If they shut down the fundraiser, they should be returning every cent back to the donors, not funneling it into left-wing charities.

We need to show the truckers even more support now.

Donors will get a refund if they request it; if they don't, the money will go to charities.  (I do agree that the latter should be an opt-in rather than opt-out.)

GoFundMe is automatically returning all the donations (the donors no longer have to request a refund):

Note the timestamp (2:56 AM EST), so everyone who has been whining about it during the day today is either behind the news or gaslighting.

They weren't left-wing charities; they were selected by the convoy organizers.  But the whole thing is moot now since GoFundMe announced overnight that they are automatically returning all donations to the donors.

The reality right now is, big tech and the media treat conservatives and opposition to the current political establishment like they are a fringe, 20% or less of the country, group that needs to be controlled and suppressed for the "safety" of the population. Yet they are nearly half the country, and their popularity on these platforms in spite of conservatives disproportionately not using social media and being subject to disproportionate censorship should tell you just how "mainstream" people like Ben Shapiro and his opinions are in the general populace.

If huge swaths of the Canadian (or American) public begin shifting into spreading false propaganda and undermining democracy, big tech and the media aren't obligated to go along with it, regardless of whether the left or right are doing it.

Big tech didn't censor Russiagate lies.

Funny how your responses always seem to circle back to the Russia investigation, even on completely unrelated topics like this one.  Perhaps your algorithm needs tweaking.

A credible news source (the Toronto Star) is now reporting the building fire story.  They say that the Ottawa Police's arson unit is investigating.

Why would the American right organize a protest in Canada... They could just direct those efforts to organizing one in the US. Just because some patriots were inspired by the truckers and sent them donations doesn't make it a false flag operation, lol.

You're expecting logic and rationality from right-wing anti-vaxxers?

lol 26 million. Do you know a single George Floyd protester?

Um, yes? They had protests in Jackson and Starkville. Did you actually think I would say no?

I lived in Mississippi and I don't know a single protester. I only knew decent black people with jobs and families.

The people I know who protested (both white and black) took their families, and the protests were on Saturday.

Nice, just in time to watch NFL players kneel for the anthem on their new TV on Sunday.

I'm disappointed, Santander.  Your trolling is usually more clever than that.

This is straight up theft regardless of your opinions on the truck convoy.

I think you're way behind on the posts in this thread.  GoFundMe returned all the funds to the donors.
