“Campaigns raising money to promote misinformation about vaccines violate GoFundMe’s terms of service and will be removed from the platform,” said GoFundMe spokesperson Bobby Whithorne in a similar statement provided to Mashable.

Amazon is under fire again for helping spread anti-vaccine conspiracies.

Four major anti-vaccination groups — National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), Age of Autism, Learn the Risk, and Physicians for Informed Consent — are raising money through the Amazon’s charity fundraising program, AmazonSmile, according to a report by The Guardian.

Other anti-vaccine organizations such as American Citizens for Health Choice (ACHC), A Voice for Choice, Informed Consent Action Network, and the National Health Freedom Coalition are also included in the program.
