Disgusted with this service. By NOT doing their fact checking as they have said that they do, you would have found that this is in fact a peaceful protest. As always protects do upset some folks, that is in fact the very nature of what they are meant to do. Change never happens without a little upset as the ones "losing" power are upset. This decision by GoFundMe will have far reaching effects. With the advent of etransfer and other forms of currency transfer I can easily see GoFundMe becoming a dinosaur and will go extinct. I for one will never use or support this platform again. I will find a way to donate directly to the cause. In this case the FREEDOM CONVOY 2022 and help our truckers again!

Do not use this company. If they do not like your politics or charity they will wait until you are at or near your goal and seize all your funds.

Worse than a scam
February 5, 2022

Give hard-earned cash to the brave truckers' freedom convoy and watch it diverted to BLM (amongst others), apparently at the behest of a Schwab YGL globalist politician?
No thanks!
You should recover the payment but DON'T ask for a refund - make a fraud claim with your card provider. Each one costs them at least $15.

Thieves
February 5, 2022

I find it highly unethical and hypocritical and probably unlawful for GOFundMe to withhold funds for Canadian citizens exercising their right to protest Covid mandates. BLM and Anita never had their bail money taken away even though they looted and burned buildings. I will never use or donate to anyone using GoFundMe again.

Would give them zero stars if I could. Can decide to redirect the funds you gave to another cause which suits their globalist agenda better.

Now called GoFraudMe
February 5, 2022

They have taken all the funding for freedom 2022 donations. I can not believe an organization that is suppose to be there to help would steal 9 million dollars. Especially peace keeping people who are fighting for YOUR freedom as well
Never will I recommend anyone to ever use gofundme again!

Should be investigated by DOJ
February 5, 2022

This is a corrupt organization that steals donations to people and businesses "they" don't like.
What they have done the Freedom Truckers is over the top and they should face embezzlement charges.
I will never use or donate to Gofundme again. Crooks and Thieves!

A fascist Platform
February 5, 2022

This platform is a extremely leftist organization, funding BLM and Antifa rioters who destroyed lives, cities and riot but no Freedom Convoy which does not do what BLM and Antifa activists did
Any legitimate ( law abiding but does not exhibit extreme left behavior) cloud sourcing of funds should not even contemplate this dying platform
