You’re either in front of Guido, or you are behind…
Last week Dale Vince and Guido had a bit of a preliminary skirmish on X ahead of our coming court hearing – where Dale Vince is trying to sue Guido for reporting the actual words he said.
This isn’t true as his letter of claim makes clear from the start:
In more detail he specifically tried to use GDPR legislation in four different ways:
Dale Vince’s lawyers basically wanted us to remove all our reporting about him on specious GDPR grounds. In any case all our data processing is done on our web servers hosted in Washington D.C. – we wished them well overturning the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
