I'm not a lawyer but I doubt that this will matter in the court because the time of actions matter; or in another words at the time when user registered they agreed to TOS A and later when 23andMe changed their TOS A to TOS B they achieved nothing because you can't unregister users and register them again and force them to agree to the new TOS B. I mean they can ask you to agree to new TOS but you don't have to because TOS is not a law, it is a voluntary legal agreement between a company and a customer. Retroactively enforcing something is not possible not even for the governments e.g. if I pay my corporate tax of let's say 20% in 2023 to the government, government can't say like 5 years later: you know what corporate tax is now 30%, compensate for all the differences in the past.

- mrkramer 3y agoThen pull out and sue them for maliciously enforcing new TOS. People should collectively sue them.
- freeAgent 3y agoPerhaps, but if someone ignores the email and never logs into or interacts with 23andMe in the meantime, the post hoc change in ToS should have no impact on their ability to join a class action lawsuit.
- corethree 3y agoYou got it wrong. They can throw a big TOS in front of you next time you login. Most users will just accept. Additionally they sent an email out saying that you have 30 days yo tell them you want to "opt out" otherwise by default they assume you accept the new TOS agreement.
