There are billions of addresses in the world and you can look it up online. It is an identifying information only when it is attached to an identity. That's exactly the same. DNA is everywhere, it's only identifying when connected to an identity.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoIt can be tied to your identity, that's the point. Because they'll have your relatives' data.
- mrtksn 3y agoThey can match me with my DNA if they already have complete knowledge of my family structure and all their DNA. So if all Kardashians but one send their DNA for tests providing their true identities and the last one sends anonymously, they can assume the identity of the last one. So yes, there's a risk but its not much different from going outside and leave behind hair or saliva unaccounted for. That's Putin level of paranoia IMHO(he is known to have men collecting his poo etc. when outside). Maybe can be useful for insurance companies to match you and price you according to your DNA but they are not allowed to do that and they can only exist within legal structure.
