What is they negative consequence of making the lobbying go public?

Making lobbying activities public can lead to increased scrutiny and criticism of the lobbying process, potentially damaging the reputation of both the lobbyists and the organizations they represent. It may also result in public backlash against specific policies or interests, prompting legislators to distance themselves from controversial lobbying efforts. Additionally, transparency could discourage some stakeholders from engaging in lobbying altogether, fearing public backlash or loss of support.
