Crowdfunding is an efficient way of raising money from a large number of people. If some people have difficulty paying for certain expenses, they may turn to using Internet platforms to ask friends and strangers for contributions to help cover those expenses. In general, these platforms allow participants to start such “life events” campaigns as crowdfunding for adoption costs, wedding fees, or medical expenses. Some platforms insist that they would leave the door open and users can keep whatever has been raised while others require users to meet certain criteria before they get any money. However, there are a growing number of criticisms about these campaigns, especially those addressing certain ethical dilemma. One such criticism highlights an instance when in order to compete for attention, everyone wrote their stories as heart-breaking as possible so that they could get more votes and higher scores. In addition, many users link their campaigns from crowdfunding platforms to their Facebook and Twitter accounts or other social media. As a result, even when their campaigns are over, their private information, such as a baby’s identity, is still exposed for the public to access. Ironically, all these acts originating from good intention may turn out to be harmful to one’s integrity and privacy. Although some comments on crowdfunding can be harsh, crowdfunding just reflects the Internet’s power to transmit information. Through this kind of platform, those who actually undergo financial difficulties can find more helpful channels to solve their problems. It is also crucial to accomplish the mission of constructing a world of mutual help and benefits. Yet crowdfunders should be cautious while posting private information on the Internet. It is recommended that people keep those intimate details away from websites.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文中該句子後半部，出現了 while（然而）這個轉折詞。如果後半部描述的平台是要求使用者必須先『達到特定標準』才能領錢，那麼根據對比邏輯，前半部描述的平台在資金領取的規定上，會是『更嚴格』還是『更寬鬆』呢？

- 知識連結：這句話巧妙地運用了對比的寫作手法呢。當我們看到有些平台要求必須『符合特定標準』(meet certain criteria) 時，而連接詞 while (然而) 示意的轉折，就溫柔地提醒我們，前面的 "leave the door open" 其實指的就是完全相反、沒有任何限制或門檻的狀況喔！是不是很像課本教的「反襯」呢？
