Laura Loomer shares payment platform built by Indians to receive donations

I’m Banned on Cash app, Venmo and PayPal because these people want to strangle me and have been subjecting me to their caste system for YEARS.” However, having realised the potential of receiving donations by cashing in on the anti-India sentiment prevailing among a minuscule section of American society, Ms Loomer shared the link of Buy Me a Coffee for her followers to monetarily support her and “help” her in her fight against the Big Tech. But to her chagrin, Buy Me A Coffee is a payment platform built by two Indian tech brothers—the very same people she had been ranting against following the announcement that Sriram Krishnan will serve as Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Creators can also offer exclusive content and community access for their biggest fans.” While Ms Loomer appeared blissfully unaware of Buy Me a Coffee being a payment platform built by Indians, its founder, Jijo Sunny, took a swipe at the American racist conspiracy theorist.
