Communist countries famously have private businesses collect and distribute money with little state oversight or control by the people.

#14Is this essentially going to be an investigation in which they find that which has made people butthurt is something they signed away in the terms & conditions they never read? Seems like it. Good on GoFundMe.
Who reads t&c? Gofundme exists because people fund campaigns they want to. They can point to their T&C and say hard luck. But they won't exist for long with that response. Existence of any business is not a law of nature. If they mess with their user base, they will cease to exist.

#15GoFundMe should be political neutral, but it openly turns left. I recommend a long post explaining this phenomenon: https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/why-is-everything-libe...

Your attempted explanation is wrong. Trump won the rust belt in 2016 because neoliberals sold out the working class and their unions. This behavior by the administration is a half hearted attempt to roll some of that back.

Yeah, it's totally the Republicans who are pro-union.

Using a political office to effect political change is against the law.

If you put in big letters "Contribute to " and then, somewhere totally else, in tiny letters amid 15,000 other tiny letters, put "but we may take your money and contribute it to anything we like"... then you are NOT the good guy. You are swindling the user and a lot of people are of the opinion that this is exactly the kind of situation the government should step in on.
Alternatively, make the 15,000 tiny letters illegal, and require products to specify in clear, easily understandable language what the user is agreeing to; with the ability to return whatever it is if they do not agree with it.

From your linked article:
>using this language to specify those who are exempt:[10]
> (i) an employee paid from an appropriation for the Executive Office of the President; or
> (ii) an employee appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, whose position is located within the United States, who determines policies to be pursued by the United States in the nationwide administration of Federal laws.
I'm sure that "the administration" that evv555 was talking about involves either of those people, instead of some random civil servant.
