UPDATE:
I heard back from Amazon. They want people to report via this page, instead:

Less than Christian
A so-called “christian” fundraising site has turned out to be the “go to” place for fundraising for the Proud [little] Boys, protester murderers, trump administration liars, and the insurrectionists seeking $$ to get themselves to DC.
As you can see in the header image, Enrique Tarrio has used it to raised over $100k in one day after his arrest.
The interesting thing is that this is likely to be a fairly gargantuan violation of the terms of service on their hosting platform: Amazon’s AWS. It’s likely that Amazon would not approve of being used as a conduit to fund an insurrection.
So why don’t we help Amazon recognize that they have a bad customer?
Here’s how you can inform them about their role in funding this week’s misadventures, and helping murderers.

Your customer, givesendgo.com

Is providing fundraising services to the insurrectionists and other violent people to enable their violent activities, in clear violation of your terms of service. They have enabled these violent people to raise funds to travel to DC for the attempted coup, and raise funds for legal fees for the insurrectionists, and for medical care for injuries sustained in violent confrontations.
If enough people report them, they’ll probably be offline by lunch time on Friday. Here are links to a few of the campaigns. As of 3 AM, they’ve started removing some of pages, so the links might or might not work by the time folks get to see this diary. givesendgo.com/...givesendgo.com/…givesendgo.com/…
givesendgo.com/… I got some screen caps, though. The legitimate campaigns to help cancer patients, single parents, etc. are interspersed with numerous “send me to DC” posts, among others.
