“This morning, Patreon suspended a Ukrainian organization’s page from our site called “Come Back Alive” because it violated our policies.”
The day after Russia invaded, Patreon cut off a group buying tablets, drones and vehicles for Ukraine’s army. The rule against funding military activity is real. Patreon enforced it at the exact moment the money mattered most, then linked to other charities in the same post. Payment platforms decide who gets funded, and they decide on their own schedule.
