The Minister of State mentioned the human rights provision there and rightly so. What about the area of crowdfunding for disasters or charitable purposes? In a lot of areas you will see crowdfunding when significant things might have happened. Do they have to register for charitable status or is up to themselves? If they do, are they investigated straight away because some of them raise considerable funds overnight?
