![“Currently, the way the laws are written in the UK allows people to bring bad faith lawsuits against stories that are true and that have been really well reported,” Herrmann said.
“I think until the Government acts and changes the law, there has been some protection put into the law about anti-SLAPP when it comes to financial [reporting], but what you really need is for that to be extended to lots of other forms of journalism, because at the moment, it is a big drain on our time and on our resources.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srd2elpqbgoq74tmmvghfgln/bafkreiejvefzzldnjpyz3jwtp5ac7wkk6vd3e2hrftaw5jj6oslnft6owe)
