GoFundMe Prohibits Anti-Vaxxers Raising Money to Spread Disinformation



[ad_1]

Anti-vaxxers have been using GoFundMe for a long time to raise funds to spread their dangerous message, but the site is cutting them now, The Daily Beast has learned.

"Fundraising campaigns to promote misinformation about vaccines violate GoFundMe's terms of service and will be removed from the platform," spokesman Bobby Whithorne told The Daily Beast.

"We are doing a thorough review and will remove all campaigns currently on the platform."

This is the latest crackdown on activists who challenge the facts and believe that the medical establishment, the government and the pharmaceutical industry are engaged in a plot to harm American children.

The American anti-vax movement is behind two measles outbreaks that have infected some 300 people – mostly children – in New York and the Pacific Northwest.
