GoFundMe froze a fundraising campaign for the far-left news outlet The Grayzone due to “external concerns”, in the latest case to highlight the contentious role of tech companies in regulating controversial speech.

Oh… now that they’re freezing leftist accounts, NOW it’s a free speech issue…
sucks to be them
True that. Keep in mind that this is coming from AlGorezeera.
A cookie requirement covered This Guy’s screen like wallpaper (no cookies please!), but a tiny part of the top of the screen allowed a line-by-line viewing of the story.
The offense leading to the interruption of funds appears to be a left-wing version of opposition to continued U.S. funding of or involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war.
Weirdly, FR has been allowing a bunch of left wing posters to post extensively from the Grayzone. Back in the day we would zot those people.
Stunning. GoFundMe shut me and other Trump supporters off when we were wildfire refugees. They said it wasn’t a legitimate cause. It was legitimate for lefties and illegal aliens. They stayed on with no problem for the same fire. 3 years ago. Same thing with Facebook.
Thank you, FreeRepublic. The only place I was allowed to speak about it.
Losing everything and being homeless was awful but being told to shut up about it because you are one of “those people” was devastating.
Hard to feel bad for Mate’and Blumenthal, these are the companies/entities that their political and social communities have lauded for years.
“It’s a private company”
Now the alligator is chewy on thier butt and it’s a bad thing.
Use Give Send Go.
They froze a leftist account, and now everybody is all upset. Filthy hypocrites! You didn’t care when the illegitimates froze normal peoples’ accounts, so now you can go perform any number of useless, self-defeating tasks similar to “go pound sand!”.

Came here to say this. But, they get away with it, so why not? We just let em run with it, and the mainstream idiot voter is too stupid to realize it, so here we are!
Can’t we all not get along with restricting speech?
Way past too late.

Can’t be said enough. GiveSendGo. GiveSendGo. GiveSendGo.
They were always cutting off conservative causes. They really infuriated me when they allowed a GoFundMe for Lieutenant Michael Byrd after he executed Ashley Babbitt.
I wrote them and told them of my objection to them having a fund for a murderer, but they would not even answer me.
So stupid.
First Amendment “Free Speech” issues are directed at the federal government and nowhere else.
The government has NO RIGHT to regulate an individual’s or private business’ free speech. But an individual or private business may regulate speech however they choose.
But like everything else, the Delusional Lying Left and its Media Minions turn the Constitution on its head and instead try to use government to regulate free speech among private citizens and private business.
The problem is so much of the semi-alert populace is completely unaware of this dichotomy and Leftist effort to rob their constitutionally-protected freedoms.
Hope you’re doing well. These disasters take a long time.
