Due 2hrs no extensionThe so-called “Freedom Convoy” began in B.C.’s Lower Mainland and
traversed the country before converging in Ottawa on Jan. 29. At first, convoy organizers
used the crowdfunding website GoFundMe to collect donations. Then, they migrated
fundraising efforts to GiveSendGo. A group of hackers illegally targeted GiveSendGo and
leaked the donor data online. The leaked data contains donors’ full names, email addresses,
postal codes, donation amounts, methods of payment and personal comments. While the
data was illegally obtained, public media – CBC -, private media – the Globe and Mail – and
even alternative media – The Tyee – chose to publish some general findings.Read the Tyee’s
article (Links to an external site.) and answer the following questions. Is this leaked
reported on endangering personal privacy? Is it legal? Is it justified? Are there problems or
bias in the way this story has been reported? What interests are being served? At whose
expense? In the future, would you feel at ease funding anti-establishment campaigns via
crowdfunding websites? (300 words) https://thetyee.ca/News/2022/03/15/Convoy-
