AG ​Bonta, along with 21 AGs, sent a letter to GoFundMe following reports that the platform plagiarized donation web pages for charities nationwide without their prior knowledge or consent. In the letter, AG Bonta and the coalition share their grave concerns about GoFundMe’s misconduct and call for immediate remedial measures, including providing proof that GoFundMe has removed all unauthorized donation web pages, in the next 14 days.

“It is deeply concerning that GoFundMe plagiarized donation web pages, without knowledge or authorization of the charities involved. This conduct harms charities, erodes public trust, and sets a dangerous precedent that ultimately harms the people and causes that charities support. Today, we demand accountability for GoFundMe’s wrongdoing. GoFundMe must fix the damage it has caused and prove it has removed all of its plagiarized web pages.” – AG Bonta
