    Initially they wanted to redistribute the donations to other charities:
    "The crowdfunding platform announced Friday that they will be distributing the remaining funds to 'credible and established charities"

    "The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations."

    • lol... I get not wanting to have your company attached to certain events, however 'you' (GoFundMe) doesn't have the right to pick "new" charities...PonyBoy
    • ... give folks back their fucking money if it's not going towards what they intended... else that is straight up fraud by GFM.PonyBoy
    • It always should have been automatic if they cancelled funding, even if a group breaches terms of service, which they definitely did by getting violent.BuddhaHat
