Those aren't related to transparency.

The logic is that Tesla/Musk are suing whistleblowers to silence them because of embarrassing information. Why would Twitter's algorithms be embarrassing to Musk? Or its moderation policies?

Exactly, all the more reason to treat words as a special case and not restrict them.
