    It would be a shame if people reported this fundraiser to be a violation of GoFundMe’s terms of service…

      I thought they already have a statement saying it doesn’t violate their TOS. Which seems definitely wrong but who knows.

        Same reason why Twitter didn’t ban him till after he stopped being the President… The attention brings cash

      With respect, I think this is a waste of time. This is probably the biggest fundraiser on the site right now. They’re aware and making fat bucks off of it, so they are not going to shut it down because of a TOS violation.

        Possibly to prevent frivolous reports? Without a verifiable identity, anyone can create numerous reports with fictitious identities.

          Those are easily detectable via other means.

          They’re collecting people’s information so they can sell it.

          I guess I could just input garbage data, but imo it should be enough to just report at give a reason.
