Gofundme freezes Grayzone fundraiser 'due to some external concerns'

The Grayzone raises over $90,000 for 3 independent journalists.
Gofundme freezes the funds.
British Counter-Terror Police detains journalist Kit Klarenberg and interrogates him for 5 hours about his political views and reporting.

The West sure loves its press freedom™ huh?

Edit: Thanks for the valuable discussion, I didn't plan to donate anything cuz I also have my reservations towards the Grayzone. But you guys really showed me that I should probably do it anyway 😅

Here is the link if you want to donate too.

It's not actually journalism. It's an extreme left propagandist and conspiracy website.

- They are not leftists, they are tankies who are pro-Russia, pro-CCP, pro-Assad, and basically pro-every-authoritarian. They defend multiple genocides. They're fascists stealing leftist valor.
  
  yeah just going to OP's link just half of the "popular stories" links are pro-russia propaganda nonsense, and the rest are bizarro tankie takes.

  Do you consider yourself a leftist?
  
  Yes, I'm a radical anarcho-feminist.
  
  Would you rather live under the rule of socialist China, or capitalist America?
  
  Do you seriously think I don't know what a whataboutism is? Fuck off with this disingenuous bullshit tankie.
  
  I'm not even a goddamn american!
  
  So you’re a liberal. Facts.
  
  What the fuck are you even talking about. Go back to bed. I'm not an idiot and I'm not falling for your shit.
  
  But you want people to fall for your shit. This isn’t Reddit. We’re not all idiots.
  
  No, I want you to shut the fuck up and go back to bed. I don't care what you fall for except maybe out a window.
  
  Huh, I think something finally clicked in my head!
  
  Radical anarcho-feminism is when
  
  wishing harm to people you disagree with
  
  not questioning liberal media controlled by oligarchs
  
  prioritize the preservation of "leftist valor" over a critical examination of imperialism and colonialism
  
  Fascinatingly Radical 👌
  
  Your hostility belies your intentions. Just accept that you are a liberal. And that’s okay. Own it. But stop pretending to be an actual leftist while spewing liberal propaganda.
- Yeah, you should only get your news from right wing media owned by oligarchs. That's how you know it's true.

  lmao lol even
  
  When your overton window has fallen off the bloody table.
  
  Left of center, highly factual reporting. Ok.
  
  not the CIA
- That may be true. But don’t discount that media disseminated under capitalism is also biased. Source
