Texas attorney general to probe GoFundMe for removing Canada’s trucker convoy fundraiser
Texas plans to launch an investigation into GoFundMe’s decision to take down a fundraiser for Canada’s trucker convoy that has been protesting COVID-19 measures and vaccine mandates in the nation’s capital for the past 13 days.A statement on Wednesday said that Attorney General Ken Paxton would probe potential violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act after the crowd-funding platform’s integrity had come into question for removing the online campaign. ‘Incredibly scary’: How Canada’s trucker convoy protest is galvanizing the American right “GoFundMe’s response to an anti-mandate, pro-liberty movement should ring alarm bells to anyone using the donation platform and, more broadly, any American wanting to protect their constitutional rights,” Paxton said.“Many Texans donated to this worthy cause.
