is anything really deleted?

[HYPOCRACY]

Lol. That data’s been sold, stolen, given to various governments multiple times.

[alternatives?]

“is anything really deleted?”

Works for Hillary.

[MinorityRepublican]

Too late.

[Leaning Right]

I heard that 23andMe just hired Hillary Clinton as chief data officer.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No.

[ChildOfThe60s]

That data’s been sold, stolen, given to various governments multiple times

To believe anything else one would have to be a moron

[LegendHasIt]

Lol. That data’s been sold, stolen, given to various governments multiple times.

Yep.

[SuperLuminal]

It is probably a CIA front company...

[lucky american]

I’m so glad we never sent any samples.

[monkeyshine]

Oh shucks! I gave my DNA to (I got a lot of jokes to insert here).

[ZOOKER]

Wow I could make a killer syfy movie about this.

23andme goes bankrupt and fedgov takes it over. It then mandates the collection of ALL dna data for "health reasons"

From here it goes rapidly downhill --- forced breeding for "good" genetic material, forced abortions for "bad".

I'd call it Boys From Brazil 2.0

[RetiredTexasVet]

The California AG wants to make sure that the database is not available to law enforcement so that his friends, relatives and party members are not identified for their crimes using said database.

[blitz128]

Never thought this was a good idea

[sphinx]

Uh oh. The wrong people might find out that I'm Klingon and have been passing all these years.

I haven't done 23 and Me, but I did do Ancestry.com years ago. I'd still like to take one of the tests that shows the percentage of Neanderthal DNA. Neanderthals have long been a stigmatized and severely underrepresented group, and need a strong advocacy champion. Plus lucrative government preferences and subsidies. There is probably a significant first mover advantage to whoever gets in early on the scam this righteous social justice crusade.

[dynachrome]

Will we find out who is really Cartman’s mother?

[Axenolith]

Half of it already got stolen. The Class action “payout” was the cost of doing business for funneling that data to a buyer. The payoff for the data will be when all the corporate hierarchy take the current entity into bankruptcy and emerge into a new one with a BIG “investment” from the actual data receiver[s]...

[Colorado Doug]

Wait, I read on Huffington Post that Trump has already ordered forced breading and Handmaidens outfits. Now they are changing it?

[Scrambler Bob]

I suspect Private Equity and Leveraged Buyout.
