It would be a shame if people reported this fundraiser to be a violation of GoFundMeā€™s terms of serviceā€¦

I would love to report but why do they need name and phone number?

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

Those are easily detectable via other means.

Theyā€™re collecting peopleā€™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.

I thought they already have a statement saying it doesnā€™t violate their TOS. Which seems definitely wrong but who knows.

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

Does paying the judgement count as paying for the defense?
