Completely agree. The usual social media esque "it's a free service so you are the product" arguments don't apply here, people paid 23andme for genetic testing.
The good news is:
>"Regeneron pledged to comply with 23andMe’s privacy policy, which allows customers to have their personal information deleted upon request."
There needs to me a massive campaign to convince every single customer to file a data deletion request.

This is important: don't assume that because you're paying for a service that your personal data isn't still being mined. It doesn't matter if you fairly, over or under pay for a service. There's nothing illegal or uncommon about that.
