ONTARIO, CANADA – GoFundMe has been holding funds raised from the Freedom Convoy truckers for days, saying they were checking to “ensure it complies with our terms of service” as well as “applicable laws and regulations.”
As of Friday afternoon, they announced in a statement that they’ve taken down the fundraiser, which has amassed over $10 million. Approximately $1 million was released last week, meaning the company is withholding $9 million contributed by supporters.
“Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials,” the statement read, “this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.”
