Lawsuit against GoFundMe: platform accused of pocketing "tips" from donors

GoFundMe faces court proceedings following a lawsuit accusing the platform of dishonestly collecting "tips" from donors. According to the plaintiffs, the platform automatically adds a fee to each donation that goes to the company—not the fundraiser organizer—and deliberately makes it difficult to remove during payment. The case undermines GoFundMe's image as a charitable aid platform.
