Why did gofund me close Marion Miller's page saying it "it violated terms of service"

[stumbledin]

NB to MNHQ - this isn't about raising money this it trying to understand the actions of a social media company - thanks

I didn't know this had happened, but have just seen this in the Times:

Fundraiser block after cash pours in for feminist charged with hate crime www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fundraiser-block-after-cash-pours-in-for-feminist-charged-with-hate-crime-tx9bht0mx

My question is genuinely what terms did she (or whoever set up the page) violate?

FFS, answer without link to terms and conditions

You can't use it 9) for the legal defence of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, serious disabilities or diseases, financial crimes or crimes of deception;

legal defence of alleged crimes

So much for innocent until proven guilty.

And yet count dankula who was convicted under the exact same law as Marion has been charged was allowed to have a go fund me.

On the bright side, she’s raised all the money she needs at the moment so yah boo sucks to you to all the usual suspects who tried to silence yet another woman. ☀️

MrsWooster - that article said all the money raised had been returned.

Does that mean there was another fundraiser.

For fear of upsetting MNHQ please only answer Yes or No and do not add link to any fundraiser!!!

Yes, she tweeted that her lawyers will be handling the crowdfunder for her.

Gofundme also closed a crowdfunder for a rape shelter and refunded all the money donated back to the donors.

We had a thread about it at the time. No-one understood how that could break their rules.

She got £30k through direct PayPal donations after the GoFundMe was pulled.

Afaik it’s new money she’s got-through direct donations. Nevertheless she persisted. 🌞 🌞 🌞

This is truely Alice in Wonderland in real life.

Bad enough that you are coping with a very threatening situation, but then all these supposedly at hand on line platforms lock you out from getting help and support.

And yes - nevertheless she (and others) persisted! [superwoman emoji]

Hang on
Who’s hosting Dr Christian ‘LOL’ Jessen’s fund raiser??

Hope it looks like old fashioned libel is not covered in the exclusions. So Dr LOL can raise funds to pay for abusing a woman baseless.

Baselessly autocorrect. Baselessly.
