The Cloud is currently advertising for your ^voluntary^ submission of DNA data. Note the several ancestry exploration groups such as 23&Me?

Now that you mention it, I remember hearing about requests for voluntary participation in studies... for our collective health, of course.

And with respect to the ancestry exploration groups, I did mention those in the context of law enforcement accessing their data to find relatives (2nd cousins, IIRC) of the California killer, and look for suspects through the family tree.

So, its obvious that 23&Me, and the like, aren’t anonymous.

But, back to the original question that triggered our discourse: Has the Cloud’s DNA information expanded to the point where a simple question like “Who is Obama related to” be answered with a few authorized and well-placed keystrokes?

Or, is genetic non-anonymity just a commoner’s problem?

It is questionable as to how accurate these tests are. Have you seen this?
