I would give little explanation too nowadays.
In the past I've given lots of information about requests to moderate or otherwise remove content from forums I run.
Then I was hit with a cease and desist, and again provided transparency of it. The very predictable Streisand effect kicked in, and then I was hit with a harassment case too (for disclosing the details even though I knew it would likely trigger Streisand).
It was all resolved quite peacefully, but one fire-fights these things reasonably over the years and get to learn that the other party is usually not being reasonable. You can either result in escalation, or you can calm things down.
It's a lot easier to pick the option that calms things down if it's available to you. And in case above, that was apocalyptic, to close the list without disclosing detail behind it.
The last straw really breaks the camels' back. Once broken, it's not getting up to fight on. Life is too short.
