Who could’ve possibly guessed that sending your DNA to a private company like 23 and me could’ve possibly come with issues in the future? How surprising.

All the people that thought I was being a wet blanket by refusing to do 23 and me are now singing a different tune…

I’ve been avoiding re logging into 23andme because I refuse to accept any new terms.
Is there no way around this if I want to go through this process to delete my data?

Yeah, they should never have been allowed to sell you a printout while taking your genetic information. Ignorant populace getting walked towards big brother oversight and being nickle and dimed every step of the way. Genetic technology got subsidized by a curious populace ignorant of what privacy rights they give up and why they would care about that.Â

And the 23 and me sub is filled with people who are disappointed with their banal ancestry. It was always a gimmick, and now it’s likely it will be a massive breach of privacy.

You also may want to have them discard your sample as well as your data.
