Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll try to keep it brief.
My question is for Mr. Benitez, from GoFundMe.
In your opening statement, Mr. Benitez, you said you did a review of where the donations to the freedom convoy were coming from. What worried us, at the beginning and throughout the convoy, was foreign interference and the fact that donations were being made anonymously and we didn't know where they were coming from. As I understand it, you have data on your donors, as well as the ability to determine where the funds are coming from. You said that 88% of the donations were from Canadians.
Do you know where the other 12% came from? Do you have indicators to help you categorize users, or donors, in order to raise a red flag when similar user profiles begin donating to similar, potentially problematic campaigns?
I would've liked to ask the PayPal representative the same question, given the platform's experience with donations that helped fund the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Those same donors may have contributed to the freedom convoy, since they tend to be drawn to campaigns of that nature.
In less than 30 seconds, I'd like the GoFundMe representative to answer the question.
