A fundraising program that Yelp and GoFundMe put in place this week to help local businesses impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic has been paused after public outcry over how it was rolled out — specifically, controversy over how the two provided no easy and quick way to opt out of the fundraising.

Yelp’s initial announcement was a little vague about who the “participating” businesses would be, and TechCrunch mistakenly wrote about it as if business owners would have to sign up to participate.
