The recent move from GoFundMe to take millions of dollars in donations for the Freedom Convoy movement isn't going over that well for them. It has caused a great deal of negative publicity and prompted several AGs in the states to take to social media saying they would get teams together to investigate this action. 

After they told people they would be giving away that donation money to other charities it looks like they reversed their plan a bit and instead decided to give back the donations to the thousands who gave money. This comes after many started talking online about doing chargebacks and if thousands of people were to have done those chargebacks for GoFundMe then it would've cost them a lot of money. 

GoFundMe said the Trucker Convoy might have started out peaceful but that it was violating the terms of service because of the promotion of violence and harassment. They allege that based on evidence from law enforcement that this is the case for the protest and because of that unlawful activity they want to take the funds away. 

To those who gave the funds it feels a little like censorship. 

When a movement is free for anyone to join, and 1 or 2 or 100 people engage in wrongful behavior out of tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, it isn't logical or fair to blanket judge the entire movement as being one of hate and violence. 

If this were the case then all anyone would need to do from now until the end of time would be to send one violent actor to a protest to delegitimize the movement. That's a dangerous precedent to be setting and judging any protest movement in this manner is entirely nonsensical.

It didn't take long for organizers to look elsewhere to start raising funds. They looked to GiveSendGo and again have already raised over $1 million and they've gone looking for other ways to raise funds too.
