23andMe agreed to pay $18 million to settle claims over a 2023 data breach affecting 6.9 million users.

And that is before the lawyers take most of it. Basically zero consequences for breach of DNA sequences, health reports, ethnicity, race, location, etc. Fascists surely won’t use this for anything horrific.

    Lol all your data compromised. And your cousin. And your second degree cousin.

    Your DNA give so much clue that leak one can find a lot more. I think police can track up to second degree cousin like that.

    That why before do test you should always ask entire family (up, down, sideway relation in family tree) if ok. Because you publish their data too. In my opinion should be in law.

      I mean our teenage daughter is the only one in our family who received a 23&me email notification that her data had been compromised.

          Yes, I understand, but what I mean is directly related to the main point of this post. My daughter is entitled to $2.60 winning from this 23&me legal debacle. But the rest of us in our immediate family are not entitled to $2.60 😄

      So if Palantir does not like your genetics, they can skip the processing center, and just drone strike you directly.

      If they like them, you go straight to the breeding programs.
