We're still in the infancy of diagnosing psychological state through word choice, yet uninformed people still talk to other people over chat. We're still in the infancy of detecting disease through microbiome analysis, yet some foolish people still meet in person without signed contracts not to collect that information. We're still in the infancy of analyzing video to detect mental state, yet people routinely go out into public without comprehensive agreements not to record or analyze their behavior.

That said, the cost v.s. risks v.s. benefit of the 23andme service work for me - though I would not say that they should work for anyone else. It's good to think about potential future risks, but believing too much in the malevolence and competence of people from the future is often a mistake (see: lots of cold war policies).
