Bill Burr put it correctly: "why would you send your saliva into the internet?" Don't. You don't have any guarantees that these dubious companies will do right by your DNA. I'm surprised when people who wouldn't keep Alexa in their homes would send their DNA to ancestry.com. Like do you realise DNA is forever? You AND your entire bloodline is now forsaken genetic privacy for all eternity! A single leak and your genetic data is out in the internet for perpetuity! I've even stopped giving blood samples to random pathology services and restrict to just one (no guarantees that they'll not fork me over either but at least minimise my exposure).
