Intelligence services are good at stopping and intimidating journalists who are reporting on their activities: activities like nurturing Islamic terrorist groups in order to destabilize states perceived as an obstacle. For examples see the 9-11 attackers, the Ariana Grande/ManchesterArena bomber.
They have no lack of information: they just don't do anything with it because their fundamental job at the moment is not protecting us, it's destroying others. MI5 had all they needed to stop the Manchester Arena bomber etc.
Journalists need to be free to pursue their activities in order for us to have a functioning democracy. The detention of Kit Klarenberg, this detention, the detention of the French publisher (for Gilet Jaune protestor links IIUIC) are definite indications that these intelligence agency perverts feel empowered to interfere with one of the important parts of a democratic system.
