Indiegogo bannlyser antivaccinations-projekt
Gräsrotsfinansieringstjänsten Indiegogo sällar sig nu till den växande skara techbolag som väljer att ta avstånd från antivaccinationsrörelsen. Indiegogo väljer nu nämligen att förbjuda alla typer av antivaccinationsprojekt på sin plattform.
”Företag på internet blir allt mer medvetna om vilken roll de spelar när det handlar om spridningen av vilseledande information och har valt att införa nolltolerans på vissa områden” skriver Engadget i en kommentar till saken.

Indiegogo is an international crowdfunding website founded in 2008 by Danae Ringelmann, Slava Rubin, and Eric Schell. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California. The site is one of the first sites to offer crowd funding. Indiegogo allows people to solicit funds for an idea, charity, or start-up business. Indiegogo charges a 5% fee on contributions. This charge is in addition to Stripe credit card processing charges of 3% + $0.30 per transaction. Fifteen million people visit the site each month.The site runs on a rewards-based system, meaning donors, investors, or customers who are willing help to fund a project or product can donate and receive a gift, rather than an equity stake in the company. Following changes in Security and Exchange Commission rules earlier in 2016, Indiegogo has partnered with MicroVentures to offer equity-based campaigns beginning in November 2016, allowing unaccredited investors to participate with equity stakes.In 2014, Indiegogo launched Indiegogo Life, a service that people can use to raise money for emergencies, medical expenses, celebrations, or other life events. Indiegogo Life did not charge a platform fee. In 2015 Indiegogo Life was renamed to Generosity.com. Donors use solely credit cards to donate, and processing is conducted by Stripe. Stripe's processing fees of 3% plus 30 cents of every donation still apply.
