23andMe bankruptcy filing sparks privacy fears as DNA data of millions goes up for sale
“Folks have absolutely no say in where their data is going to go,” said Tazin Khan, the CEO of the nonprofit Cyber Collective, which advocates for privacy rights and cybersecurity for marginalized people.
Ohhhh ohhhhhhh ohhh you stupid fuks that gave them DNA.
You had to know that there was a nefarious motive when they advertised the shit out of these kits as gits for you family and friends. No thanks
"You had to know that there was a nefarious motive "
...and do you want to know the true rub...
...the nimrods bought this trash with hard earned money...
...howls...
...only in our modern world...
Exactly. Then they believed the results 🤣
This is yet ANOTHER example of too many stupid people participating in something we warned them not to...
And boy, lemme tell ya, there are a WHOLE LOT of stupid people... don't look now, but you're completely surrounded by them...
Just one more example of STUPID dragging everyone else down with them.
"Oh no, they'd never use that data to hone a bioweapon to wipe us all out... the govt would never do anything like that!"
NGOs enter the chat...
""Oh no, they'd never use that data to hone a bioweapon to wipe us all out... the govt would never do anything like that!""
"Never is a very long time".

It's surprising how many people willinging signed up for this garbage and gave up their DNA.
I know it boggled my mind when some close family members gave it to each other for Christmas. These are closely related to me family, which means that my DNA is out there too? They also took the vaxxes, so there's that. Edit to add: We know where our grandparents and greatgrandparents immigrated from, so why even bother?
“…goes up for sale…”? It’s already been sold many times over. This doesn’t imply anything new. Sadly.
" “…goes up for sale…”? It’s already been sold many times over. "
...I can find no record of this happening...
" In February 2021, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Sir Richard Branson's special-purpose acquisition company, VG Acquisition Corp, in a $3.5 billion transaction."
,,,this is the only record I could produce indicating not a sale, but a merger...
...let's say, the corporation was sold, this would have been a controlled transaction with 23&me selecting who would take possession of the business...
...in bankruptcy, it is high bidder, winner takes all proposition...
...doggy winks...
...carry on Patriot...
Sorry I meant the DNA data has been sold many times over, not the company.
"Sorry I meant the DNA data has been sold many times over, not the company."
...copy that...
...but I still stand by my earlier statement, there is a large difference between a data transfer between two agreeing parties and a hostile buyout by whomever has the most shekels...
...doggy winks...
