Venmo Stops Payments for Palestinian Relief Funds, Citing 'Security Concerns'

We’re officially entering the second week in a row of fighting between Israel and Palestine, which means we probably haven’t seen the last of the hundreds of deaths and countless injuries inflicted on Gaza residents thus far. If you’re looking for a way to donate to the victims, then a quick word of advice: maybe don’t use Venmo to do it.
Reports from users began circulating on Twitter this week that the uber-popular (and weirdly petty) payment app is pausing some attempts to fundraise for Palestinian causes. In one screenshot posted to Twitter on Monday, a user shared what seemed to be an email from Venmo’s customer support asking about a $50 payment sent to their account under the label “Palestinian Relief Fund.” Venmo’s email said that it was trying to understand “the purpose of this payment,” and to do so, it needed “ a complete and detailed explanation of what is intended to be paid for,” and the “establishment/location” that was going to be getting these funds.
