Massachusetts and 21 other states are giving GoFundMe two weeks to prove the fundraising site is not plagiarizing donation web pages, or taking "tips" from donors.
State Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and 21 other Attorneys General joined charitable regulators in sending a letter to the fundraising site, demanding it show all unauthorized donation web pages, and disclose all info like who donations were made to.
They also want GoFundMe to explain how their donation web pages show up in internet search results, also to review whether tips and other charges should be redirected to the charities.
The letter accuses GoFundMe of pushing donors to pay "tips" with certain tactics, and say they may have used search engine optimization tricks, so their donation sites appear above fundraising campaigns done by charities.
