Will it, though? I would bet most people wouldn't consider "maybe this will expose a murderer in my family" as a realistic possibility, and even among those who would, most probably would be OK with that.
- rdl 9y agoMurderer in my family, probably not, but what if it is "drug crime in my own family" or the more likely "expensive medical disorder which will preclude insurance, employment, dating, etc.". It's still data being used "against" the user or his relatives. This long article that someone on Twitter sent me is interesting: https://medium.com/matter/23-and-you-66e87553d22c https://medium.com/matter/23-and-you-66e87553d22c

I don't expect they would stop a police chief (let alone a beat-cop) from bragging about a cool new method for narrowing a suspect list, because the benefit to other cops knowing about it outweighs the harm to the companies' bottom lines.
