You're assuming it is within the AG's power to force 23andMe to destroy their data, however they can only enforce existing laws. The only law that can force 23andMe to destroy their data requires a request from the consumer. Thus this is less an abandoning of responsibility and more like a desperate cry for action.

- hayst4ck 2y agoAs we've discovered with the current federal administration, there is what's in your power (what you can actually do) and there is what's in your power (a convenient excuse not to take decisive action). The AG isn't "playing the game" because many of these people who hold office are participants in a system of patronage by people who want de-regulation or regulatory capture. edit: "Norms" is a word that has started to be commonly used to describe situations in which someone was allowed to do something but it was generally considered against the unwritten rules. Norms is a word that is used to defend inaction even though action is possible, and you'll notice one side dis-empowers themselves by conflating the idea of against norms with being against the rules.
