GoFundMe removes campaigns for Charlottesville suspect - BBC News

James Alex Fields Jr was arrested after a car rammed into protesters in Charlottesville
GoFundMe and other crowdfunding sites have taken a tough stance on campaigns for a man arrested following violence at a far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

GoFundMe removed some campaigns, saying they fell foul of its rules regarding hate speech and abuse.

James Alex Fields Jr, 20, is being held in police custody after a car rammed into a crowd of protesters.

One woman died in the incident, and 19 other people were injured.

GoFundMe had removed "multiple" campaigns for Mr Fields, a spokesman told Reuters.
