Does Dale Vince Understand What His lawyers are Doing?
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. Dale nevertheless bizarrely claimed in direct contradiction of his own lawyer’s efforts, “I’m not using GDPR or anything else to suppress free speech or reporting – I’m not trying to stop you talking about me (knock yourself out). I’m simply standing up for the truth and against your style of trash journalism – where facts don’t get in the way of your story.” Guido will be generous and presume that Dale wouldn’t try to brazenly lie about this, so his fact free tweet shows he just doesn’t understand what his lawyers are trying to do…
