GoFund has a track record of dropping people who have rubbed The Plan the wrong way. This guy should've picked a different platform.

Should respond to the FBlie request for help with, "I was thinking of helping you out, but then I remembered that no reasonable prosecutor would take the case, and decided not to waste my time."

It will never happen.
I've written here, multiple times before, that it's an open secret that Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon are ENTIRELY in bed with the intelligence agencies. I'm sick of people not understanding that. It's not some sort of conspiracy theory, I work and live among people who are WELL AWARE of who they work for, and what they are doing. The secret is not to admonish them.
NONE of these companies will be prosecuted for any law they break, ever.
Any lawsuit will go nowhere. They are all directly funded by government "contracts". Facebook accepts money to allow propaganda - these are just bribes, Twitter does the same. Amazon owns all the intelligence agencies data, and Google was started by the intelligence agencies.
Google was a long term plan, remember "go Google it"? Well if you want to fucking find it, Yandex it.
I can't wait for the first lawsuit to slam Twitter/FB/Youfuck

The thing I really like about Yandex is that I'm pretty sure they are not giving my data to the NSA.

I don't know. I like discussing politics at work. If the person I'm talking with gets upset with my opinion, I explain my reasoning for reaching that opinion. If they continue to get more angry, THEN I disengage, realizing I'm not really talking to a person that has justified their own opinions yet.
The only time I EVER feel angry discussing opinions, is that I've shown to have contradictory opinions. Many people get angry at the person that has pointing out their hypocrisy, but I recognize that in myself, and realize I've been just given a favor. I think I decidedly enjoy having people point out my hypocrisy at this point. When I hit that, it's just showing an error in my logic or knowledge.

I think it's a different kind of fight than that. If the left never acknowledges their hypocrisy, they win really.

No, they won't. We all lose.
In 2005, I was trying to wake up the "hard right" to the fact that George W. Bush lied us into a war in Iraq, and passed the Patriot Act that would be used against US citizens. When HOMELAND Security came up I was DESPERATELY trying to get them to understand that was Nazi language. Bush's "you're either with us or against us" was very troubling. When intelligence agencies could submit requests for user's information from websites, under a SEALED order, so that the user couldn't even tell they were being targeted, I screamed about that, and this idea that was endlessly paraded around "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about!" - which is utter BS - if you point out where the government lies, how they lie, and their actual motivations for say - some war - you have PLENTY to worry about. Just ask Julian Assange.
Well, we lost that battle - initially - now (that it's too late) people see it. If we had the same media landscape, if there was no internet, there would be no hope of ever winning that battle. It is remarkable we have remained such a vibrant nation for so long when we only had single source information for so long. Our government could have easily enacted basically fascism (under another name) 75 years ago. We are fortunate they began to really try AFTER the Internet was created.
When the useful idiots realize they are wrong about Biden - again, it's going to be too late. Fortunately, they are a minority which is why the election had to be stolen. That is hopeful. I would be a lot more devastated if Biden actually had won.
There is progress being made, but it's SO SLOW, and I don't know what kind of solutions are available still.
