If a privacy-preserving API lets researchers measure ranking effects without exposing user data, then platforms ought to provide one.

Typed, anchored challenges filed against this argument on the graph, with the responses defending or conceding them. A Proposed attack is filed and awaiting an additional sign-off.
A privacy-preserving research API is not clearly the right remedy: differential-privacy noise sufficient to protect users typically destroys the very ranking-effect signal researchers need, so the API may deliver neither privacy nor usable measurement. The conclusion does not follow.
