Limiting free speech may not be your intention, but it's exactly what's going to happen when you remove transparency.

We have a similar this situation in Germany right now. A private corporation designated by the government can delete Facebook posts as they see fit under the guise of hate speech. Facebook had to agree, because they'll be hit with fines if they don't.

What should be controlled by law is now in the hands of a corporation and they are quietly removing content that is clearly not illegal.

Removing transparency is a dream come true for corrupt institutions.
