🧑💻 About Me
I’m Calvin-Lee Hardie — a digital advocate, legal researcher, and campaigner based in Scotland. My work began as a personal response to reputational harm caused by online defamation, media distortion, and the misuse of my personal data and imagery.
What started as a fight for my own name became a broader campaign for truth, justice, and ethical accountability online.
Through my blog, Truth & Advocacy, I share my legal journey and provide resources for others facing similar harm — helping them take action under data protection laws, remove damaging content, and understand their rights.
📌 What I Do
- ✍️ Legal Self-Advocacy
I represent myself in legal actions involving reputation, data misuse, and unauthorised content — and share how others can too. - 🛠️ Digital Rights Education
I break down laws like GDPR Article 17, the Right to Be Forgotten, and the process of getting harmful links removed from Google and social platforms. - 🎯 Accountability Campaigning
I document the systemic failures of platforms and publishers — and how individuals can push back.
