This guy just won't stop trying to trick people into thinking a negative review of his business is somehow illegal. He is now a full blown snitch hence a new post in a different category see https://postalmostanything.com/4054/john-williams-of-hult-private-capital-crying-to-cops;
Mr. Williams sent us this screenshot of our registrar's response to his complaints. In it they clearly give him a generic boiler plate directive to take his gripes elsewhere. The right move since the addresses included in the article at issue are also available on his website's contact page which clearly negates his claim that their publication is a danger to him or his family.;
The main issue of Williams' gripes seem to be that he claims a former business associate is defaming him and that we don't have the right not to remove his home address from the article. Under Section 230 of the CDA we are not liable for either and therefore don't have to remove anything.;
Mr. Williams then sent a complaint to our domain registrar which was forwarded to us. That complaint is as follows:
"May I know and can you please help me identify what are my options because this article is a business competitor who wants to tarnish my brand but also tarnishes me as a person and exposing my residential address. I already emailed the webmaster but they do not want to remove it because it is earning money out of it. I do not have the funds to go for legal route and this website hosting company is in different country. Please advise thank you. ";
So following a lengthy back and forth with Williams our last message from his was as follows:
"Please take it down with or without payment. Since there would be no amicable settlement in this problem, I will escalate infringing content you made to the web hosting companies to ask a copy of your identity and forward it to the authorities. I don't mind if it takes time but, important is to hold you liable for your actions. It's gonna be a long journey but it is making sure someone will regret it. "If there are legal problems regarding HULT, it can be brought to the courts to have a solution and put behind bars the proven criminals however, someone made a wrong decision making him a person in conflict with the law. What you just made in the article is a cybercrime." Goodluck. You do not need to respond anymore. ";
"Follow up please. My family is in danger!!!! This is my home addresses!!!! This is a PERSONAL IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII) I don't permit my home address posted in any website!!!!! I dont have the funds to go to the court!!! And this issue doesn't need one because it is PII!!!!! Please DELETE!!!!!!! Asap"
We responded by explaining that we have the right to host PII and that we won't give his new claims any more credit than we gave the bogus DMCA which is no credit whatsoever.
We got a bunch of emails from someone complaining about the page on Foul Speakers that was the subject of this bogus DMCA complaints. The first message from williams.john83e@gmail.com read as follows:
"I am writing to formally inform you about this website only created to expose my privacy, my home address (in London and in Hong Kong residential address), and its defaming me saying that I am a SCAM. This website is tarnishing me as a person. They should not expose my residential addresses and my name because it should be the company name only, right? Also, the people behind this should file a case to the proper venue but instead they made this website article, because they can't prove that I am who they claim me to be. They should bring this to the court instead of posting, right? Please remove this from the Internet and to the servers! I am looking forward to your consideration. "
