That would be vandalism. The correct action is adding the tag:
access=private

OSM has a rather straightforward way of mapping things: if it's there, we map it. If the USA claims to own Poland, then we do nothing. If the USA actually occupies parts of Poland, then we change the tags to reflect that reality. Not to indicate that they own it, perhaps, but at least to indicate that it's stably under their control. Conflicts (I'm a moderator in an OSM chat, it can get very heated) mostly arise from people who don't like reality and want it to be shown differently. But their issue is with the renderer, e.g. OsmAnd, for showing it as belonging to what they perceive to be really theirs and unfairly occupied. But that doesn't change what the underlying data should show: reality. I'm having a hard time thinking of what would create a true conflict without clear solution.

Routing engines take the access tag into consideration and it can also be specific to certain kinds of traffic (e.g. no cycling allowed here, no trucks, no pedestrians...).
