It's hard to feel bad for people that willingly gave their DNA samples to a private company. Come on y'all, use some common sense.
- ProllyInfamous 2y agoWhat about feeling bad for people whose family members submitted their own similar DNA — specifically an identical twin?
- CatWChainsaw 2y agoWhile I agree with you that anyone worried about privacy was a bit short-sighted to use 23AndMe, it's the same deal with everything, everywhere. Your favorite social media platform surveils all your posts/pictures/videos and is probably training an AI model on them by now, even though when you signed up for Friendster in the 1940s all of today's AI developments were distant sci-fi fever dreams. Outlook and Gmail feast on your emails. Your car is sharing everything you do with the manufacturer and the dealer and probably the government. Your washer is using up huge amounts of data for some reason, and you likely didn't even set up the app it has for reasons unfathomable. Data is money, so of course companies will pull out every stop to harvest it, monetize it, deprive you of control over it, and ransom you with it.
