In my option transfer agents shouldn’t be “gagged”. They should be transparent and a law should be passed to make it so, just as short interest is required to be posted biweekly…
That's what OTC Markets has tried to do with its "TA verification" program.
But I'm not sure there could be the kind of law you suggest. After all, TAs work for companies, and are paid by them. And there're cases in which they've been sued by companies for failing to follow directions.
