GoFundMe To Allow Rittenhouse Fundraisers After Acquittal Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times, GoFundMe will allow fundraisers for Kyle Rittenhouse now that hes been acquitted, the company said Friday. The fundraising platform said it banned Rittenhouse fundraisers before because its terms of service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime. That was the same thing a GoFundMe spokesperson told The Epoch Times last year. In addition to removing fundraisers that were launched for the teenagers legal defense, the company removed hundreds of others last year that were unrelated to him, it said in a blog post that sought to respond to heightened criticism in the wake of the acquittal. If someone is acquitted of those charges, as Rittenhouse was today, a fundraiser started subsequently for their legal defense and other expenses would not violate this policy. A fundraiser to pay lawyers, cover legal expenses, or to help with ongoing living expenses for a person acquitted of those charges could remain active as long as we determine it is not in violation of any of our other terms and, for example, the purpose is clearly stated and the correct beneficiary is added to the fundraiser, GoFundMe said.

Fighting "Information Disorder": Aspen''s Orwellian Commission On Controlling Speech In America Authored by Jonathan Turley, The Aspen Institute has issued the results of its much heralded 16-person Commission on Information Disorder on how to protect the public from misinformation. The commission on disinformation and building trust was partially headed by Katie Couric who is still struggling with her own admission that she edited an interview to remove controversial statements by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Aspen recommendations however are a full-throated endorsement of systems of censorship. The findings and recommendations are found in an 80-page report on how to combat disinformation and misinformation, which are remarkably ill-defined but treated as a matter of we know when we see it. From the outset, however, the Commission dismissed the long-standing free speech principle that the solution to bad speech is better speech, not censorship. The problem is that many today object to allowing those with opposing views to continue to speak or others continue to listen to them.
