Sydney Vote No skywriters forced to reveal their identity after GoFundMe freezes funds

The organisers of the Vote No skywriting campaign over Sydney during the weekend were forced to nominate a spokesperson after their funding was temporarily frozen by crowdfunding site GoFundMe.

On Monday morning, Vice reported the Sydney Vote No GoFundMe page had updated its description to explain how the site “has decided to freeze our funds, until we give our names and locations.

“This is on the back of a massive amount of hateful messages we have received by people who want to silence our message and personally attack us.”
