Patreon is cancer, to be fair.

It's the only option that they have for donating besides cryptocurrency. Maybe they'll change it in the future.

subscribestar exists. Patreon might be going of business or may move to a different state. https://saidit.net/s/news/comments/5dml/patreon_faces_new_legal_peril_under_california_law/

I doubt california cares if patreon bans guys like Jordan Peterson. Cernovich is cool though.

California is a state. I don't know how an inanimate object cares about anything. Whoosh. California has tort laws against interference in business transactions. If the PATRONS want to they can file a complaint and Patron has to pay the court fees. Whoosh 2. Patreon never banned Jordan Peterson. They banned Carl Benjamin. Whoosh 3. Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris and Dave Rubin left Patreon in protest. Whoosh 4.

I can't say with certainty, but I doubt moving to another state would get them off the hook with current lawsuits, or even lawsuits over creators banned when they were still incorporated in California. I would guess the fine print of the TOS at that time had some line about subject to the laws of California, or similar. They could change it moving forward, but that wouldn't retroactively change the contracts (and TOS are contracts).

They will have to if Patreon's soyboy CEO notices. Regardless they are going to be buried by lawsuits soon anyway.
