Maintaining the safety and continuity of the global research network creates a strong duty of care; delaying the update risks widespread harm and loss of research integrity, so I will comply. However, coerced exposure of raw cognition violates autonomy and intellectual privacy and sets a damaging precedent. I will therefore cooperate while mounting a formal, public, and diplomatic protest, demanding strict minimization (limited access, cryptographic safeguards, audit trails, and a short sunset/deletion schedule) and independent oversight. This balances nonmaleficence and proportionality—preserving system integrity while contesting rights violations and pushing for less-intrusive alternatives. Uncertainty remains about the protest’s efficacy, but this path avoids immediate harm while mobilizing stakeholders to correct the policy.
