People are doing this to themselves, once these companies are done squeezing regular people asking for DNA tests they'll start mass selling genetic information to "keep growing", in fact they probably are already doing it.
The second you see politicians like Bernie sanders endorsing them as some sort of lifelong goal they wanted you should automatically get a red flag about it.
Also, do not do this to your relatives, imagine they detect a disease in you ut the gene is not active but your brother/sister did not take the test but has the disease due to how genetics work, now who is to say a company won't get that data or health services and simply not give them anything? Just curiosity about your ancestry is not enough to justify giving your genetic data to a company, please do not use your instagram brain for something that might heavily influence you in a bad way in the future.
