GoFundMe, Go To Hell. GoFundMe is now the poster child for politicization of economic services. They prevented a parents group from renting a billboard to publicize Abigail Shrier’s book Irreversible Damage, froze nearly $8 million in donations to the “Freedom Convoy” Canadian Trucker movement.

Slave uprising when?

Good to know. I already knew to use givesendgo if raising for a good cause, but now I know to avoid giving anything to gofundme as part of your donation goes to those commie bastards.

If we had a legitimate government, the conditions for chartering a payment-processor to interact with the Government-Monopoly banking and currency system would include, "Your company will process all legal monetary transactions, without discrimination."

The real issue is once you become a platform, it’s cemented.

People dont switch to other platforms.

Look at twitter. All the leftists were like, “we’re leaving”.

And look at them now. No one left.

You forgot PayPal, Stripe, Mastercard, ...

Isn't ultimately Visa and Mastercard (or to be more precise, the US government) that prohibit such things? If that weren't the case, someone would jump into the business of providing controversial funding actions.

Without any analysis "news" has no value. What's the size of the market for controversial funding?

I think the problem is that ultimately people don't want freedom as given by whatever is the most advanced cryptocurrency around (not sure what else was developed after Monero that is ostensibly better). If humanity had a brain, they would all demand to be paid everything above minimum wage in a cryptocurrency. Why would anyone want to be paid in a currency that others can print an infinite amount more of? Trading oil (well, in a time when oil actually had only positive value and wasn't consider a liability in some ways too) against dollars is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of.
