Is your position that crowdfunding platforms are bad because intelligence agencies and other baddies could use them to funnel destabilizing movements in places with social and political instability? Since when was that a problem they needed to solve? Did you raise this issue during previous mass protest crowdfunding events or do you not like this protest in particular, but others can be okay?

Since when was that a problem they needed to solve? If they want to stay in compliance with US law, that is absolutely something that cloudsourcing platforms need to solve. Foreign political donations are very much restricted in the US. As for your second question, I think that ALL political causes need to have guardrails about who is funding them, and how they are allowed to disrupt critical infrastructure. Also your question is textbook bad faith what-aboutism
