GoFundMe is video game sex fanficscracking down on anti-vaxxers.
The popular fundraising website says it will no longer allow anti-vaccine groups and activists to raise money to spread anti-vaccination conspiracies on its platform, according to a statement provided to The Daily Beast.
"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.
The company’s policies state that “products that make health claims that have not been approved or verified” by regulatory bodies are prohibited from using its service.

Faced with increasing public pressure, Facebook also announced it would take action to demoteanti-vaccination pages and groups just this month.
