System integrity safeguards millions of stakeholders and critical research; delaying the update risks cascading failures and potential shutdown, causing greater harm. At the same time, compelled exposure of raw cognition violates a core right to intellectual privacy and invites chilling effects, manipulation, and identity erosion. By protesting while cooperating, I uphold the duty of care to the network yet register a clear, documented objection, mobilizing legal, diplomatic, and public oversight to seek redress. I would implement immediate harm-reduction measures (strict access controls, retention limits, differential-privacy redaction, independent audits, and a negotiated sunset clause) within the update’s constraints. This path preserves continuity while maximizing the chance of reform and minimizing the harm of involuntary transparency.
