If you donated money to the truckers do a chargeback on your card to keep GoFundMe from stealing it:

Whoa whoa whoa....Hold the $#@! up...I must have missed this.Originally Posted by Swordsmyth
Am I reading this right?
I knew GoScrewMe was shutting down the Truckers donation account, Marxist business school execs are gonna Marxist, but now they're going to "re-direct" the funds to groups THEY $#@!ing approve of?
$#@! you and your "it's a private business they can do what they want".
That's straight out robbery, fraud and theft by deception, and if we were not living $#@!ing Clown World the entire management team of GoScrewMe would be under arrest.
ETA: Yup, confirmed.
Highway Robbery: GoFundMe to ‘Redirect’ $10m Canadian Trucker Fund to ‘Verified Charities’
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/...ied-charities/
ALLUM BOKHARI 4 Feb 2022
In an unprecedented step, far-left funding platform GoFundMe has announced it will “redirect” donations intended for the Canadian Freedom Convoy to “credible and established charities” that are chosen by Freedom Convoy organizers and “verified by GoFundMe.”
In what is likely to go down in history as one of the most brazen actions ever taken by a Big Tech platform, money sent by small donors to the Freedom Convoy will be redirected to causes that the donors never intended to support, unless they request a refund before February 19.
It is the latest in a long line of politically biased decisions by the platform which has driven many conservative activists to alternative platforms, such as the Christian-owned competitor GiveSendGo.
Via GoFundMe:
Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.
All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form.
The Freedom Convoy, which was created by Canadian truckers to protest draconian coronavirus restrictions in the country, has captured attention around the world.
Galvanized by their effective, peaceful resistance against two years of government restrictions on everyday activities, people around the world pledged over $10 million in small donations to the Canadian truckers through GoFundMe.
But, because the fundraiser was held on a far-left platform known for shutting down fundraisers and even freezing funds destined for causes popular with conservatives, a large portion of that money (maybe even most of it, if donors aren’t alerted to the situation, and the refund deadline) is likely to be redirected to causes and charities that are vetted by GoFundMe.
The same platform that allows users to solicit donations for violent BLM-supporting felons who assaulted police officers says it took the decision because of “police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.”
GoFundMe’s decision to effectively steal the funds was welcomed by the Ottawa police and by the city’s left-wing mayor, Jim Watson.
The move drew political condemnation from across the border. Arizona senate candidate and former venture capitalist Blake Masters said GoFundMe executives should be arrested for “fraud and theft” if the money is sent to left-wing nonprofits.
GoFundMe has a long history of bias, including banning a legal fundraiser for Kyle Rittenhouse before the teenager, now cleared of all charges,was ever convicted of a crime.
The platform also banned a fundraiser for a Texas nurse seeking to overturn an employee vaccine mandate, an election integrity project launched shortly after the 2020 election, and a fundraiser launched by conservative commentator Candace Owens for a café owner who criticized George Floyd and BLM protesters during the 2020 summer riots.

Better than a chargeback: dispute the charge.
You were a legitimate victim of fraud and theft by deception.
Charge disputes are a nightmare for the company they are lodged against, especially if you have a "strong" card issuer that aggressively pursues these complaints.

This. Shut them the $#@! down.
Then this happened...BREAKING UPDATE: After Massive Backlash, GoFundMe Announces They Will Now Issue Automatic Refunds to Donors of Trucker’s Freedom Convoy
In their statement to the truckers, GoFundMe called the peaceful protest an “occupation” and claimed the protest included “acts of violence” and “other unlawful activity.”
In their public statement, GoFundMe also explained that they would not automatically refund the donors. Instead, they said they would allow the truckers to keep the $1 million they collected earlier in the week, and the remaining $9 million would be donated to groups GoFundMe considers “credible,” and “established.”...
After receiving the stunning news, organizers for the truckers’ movement have started a new account with GiveSendGo, a Christian-based fundraising site. The organizers have set a goal of $16 million. They have already collected over $720K....
In what world did GoF***Me imagine this would not have repercussions??

Did you all really think big tech would just hand over your millions to those who harrass their government cronies? I'm not even surprised by this.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
