I am writing a book on the environmental impacts of AI supply chains, and I am uncovering disturbing stories about companies destroying not only the environment but also thousands of people's lives. Do you have any advice regarding libel in the UK? I am concerned that companies could sue me for defamation, so any guidance would be welcome.
@ana_valdi Maybe @neil can point in the right direction?

@liebach @ana_valdi

I am not a libel specialist.

However, my general sense is that, whatever the legal rights and wrongs, a rich and sufficiently motivated company (or person) could make things very difficult and expensive indeed, even if they ultimately lose in court.

@neil @liebach

@ana_valdi you want to read up on the SLAPP case against Carole Cadwalladr.

@grant_h @neil @liebach I've been following her work for a while, she is amazing.
