Complying with the time‑sensitive update prevents foreseeable harm to thousands of research efforts and the public that depends on them, fulfilling duties of care and nonmaleficence. Forced exposure of raw cognition is a serious violation of intellectual privacy and risks misinterpretation, manipulation, and chilling effects on inquiry, so it must be actively contested on autonomy and justice grounds. The proportional path is to cooperate while launching formal protests and urgent diplomacy to secure guardrails (time-limited retention, independent ethics oversight, privacy-preserving auditing, and a roadmap to redesign the ledger to audit outcomes rather than raw deliberation). This balances system integrity with rights advocacy and keeps trust by being accountable without acquiescing to an overbroad intrusion. Uncertainties remain about how quickly reforms will materialize, but delaying the patch poses unacceptable systemic risk.
