I could opt out, but I really do want to know my ancestry information. My objection is them sharing my information before I even get a chance to look at it. It's like if you had a baby, but the nurse and doctor published your baby's photo on Facebook before handing you your baby. Why should anyone get to see my information before I do? And then they get to contact me before I even know why they're contacting me? That's bizarre to me.
At this point, I have my information and now that I have it, I'm okay with sharing it, because it's my information to do what I wish. But they were sharing it before they shared it with me, and that's not okay, imo.
- mrgriscom 13y agoBut if the information is "here are other people you might be related to", it's not your information; it's both people's. I just don't understand how that can be revealed to you first without being unfair to the person on the other side of the coin, or why it's such a big deal if the reveal doesn't happen at exactly the same time.
- Jemaclus 13y agoSure. The problem is that I'm getting _requests_ from people I don't know based on _information_ I don't have, and I don't like that _they_ have information about myself that I don't have. And since _they_ have the information, then there's absolutely no reason why _I_ can't have the same information at the same time.
