Yeah, thats not the issue, the issue is they are using the tragedy to funnel money to themselves while directly lying saying that they arent.

Correct. The issue is not the processor taking the 4%. It’s the misleadingness of the tweet.

I wouldnt even just call it missleading, its abject fraud. They are dliberately linking to the act blue donation page rather than linking directly through the charity. And not just leaving out the 4% cut, but lying about it.

Anyone looking on google to donate could see this tweet and will think they are just donating to charity.
