23andme has a very clear privacy policy on their landing page. So what's this all about?

  It's kind of funny that the blogger puts "those who speak do not know" at the top of one of his articles where he apparently has quite a bit to say.

  A privacy policy is not informed consent. Nobody would have a problem if they asked first. The tech industry likes to act as if they have a right to use any data they get their hands on for any purpose; why wouldn't you expect a hostile reaction when people see their data being used without their explicit permission? A common response is that nobody would participate with a proper opt-in system. That lack of participation is sending a clear message.

    IIRC 23andme gives you a very specific "agree for this data to be used for medical research" consent prompt.
