Yes the #GoFundme for #ICE agent #JonathanRoss does really exist. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ice-offuver-jonathan-ross
And yes you should tell the platform to take it down as it is in breach of their own terms of service https://www.gofundme.com/en-gb/c/terms, see 8.8 to 8.10 incl. "activities in support of hate, violence, extremism, crimes". Pick 'report fundraiser' on the page. (PS: i am having issues submitting the form, anyone else having the same issue?)

@sheislaurence

Tried to report. It seems to be hanging when I hit the submit button. Thanks for the detailed info. It's now at $385k. So gross.

@aaronmichels so #GoFundMe seem to deliberately not build a proper #UX journey for reporting fundraisers. See grab below. It is a dead-end journey, designed to be dead-end. They refuse to do any improvements (I asked further down). I will check whether to report to #Fundraising regulator in the UK (there should some in the EU too), as it is mass facilitation of illicit fundraising they are responsible for, unchecked. I will stop using their services going forward (sadly have a fundraiser there)

@sheislaurence

Thanks for that update. Seems an odd choice, as they're missing an opportunity to diffuse frustrated users, and creating a lot of duplicate reports.

@aaronmichels exactly what i was saying next in the chat, they get servers pounded bu duplicate submissions, noise to plough through, unless of course it goes straight to the bin in which case, doesn't really matter 😅
