Request. The new word for demand with the full force of The State.
If you didn’t see this one coming...
Always thought handing over ones DNA to these stupid places was a bad idea.
anyone brilliant enough to give their freaking dna to a company that literally collects dna has probably stepped in front of a train by now.
Delete... What a joke...
So? They still need a warrant. This is a silly article.
I did a family tree as a elementary school project. Sure it’d be fun to have lineage back further, but the commercial from the DNA company I see most often says find out blah blah blah, then they add the word “possible” when talking of the results. ITs just guesses of your ancestry heritage. they sell a possibility.
Police could use genetic information it gets from those companies to identify you in a criminal investigation, even if you’ve never used one of those services.

“both companies allow you to delete your DNA results”
Ha ha ha! Much like you can “delete” anything else from Skynet. I wonder when folks wearing Fitbits are going to find out how that data is really being used.
I wonder if they look for criminal matches on all samples sent in. That would really be scary and they could be doing it now or NSA could have hacked their data base.

Hahahahahahahaha, you foolish sheeple! I've said from day one this was nothing but another invasion by Big Brother. There's no such thing as deletion. Once in the system, always in the system.
“So? They still need a warrant.”
They can’t give what they don’t have. There’s something even more insidious about the “agreement” with these outfits. They can sell your DNA to insurance and Big Pharma. You consent to that as a requirement of doing business with them.
They can patent your genes or check for a predisposition to certain conditions or diseases and price or deny you coverage based on the results.

“Yeah, god forbid you should be implicated in a crime you did.”
So The Fifth Amendment is a bother for you? But what the hell, we’re “safer” because of the violation of our rights, so it’s really o.k, right?
I have tested at the three main ones, and have looked at the results for perhaps a dozen people or more. Without having extensive family trees to look at, it seems I don’t understand how the results could help police very much.
Use fake information if you just want to find out your dna result.
If you want them to check your actual family background then use your name without saliva.
Could be.
With a warrant.
Nothing terribly new or exciting about that.
