The interpretation of the courts is that once the DNA/tissue leaves the body, it is no longer the property of the individual.

“ The purported ability of Jews to blend in – to “pass” as white – has been at the root of antisemitic conspiracy theories”
**************************************************************

All the Jews I’m personally acquainted with are white. I don’t follow this “blend in” business. Just sayin’.

If you trust your biggest secret to anybody with internet access you are making a huge mistake.

“With the data of half 23andMe’s customers now in the hands of cybercriminals...”

Good gosh!

I was considering doing the 23andMe thing.....NOT NOW!

That seems to counter EVERY paternity case EVER filed.

I’m not sure why the article singles them out when they’re not exclusively impacted by this.

Not to worry, since all genetic testing is done in China, the PLA will keep it safe, along with millions and millions of others, while they use it to work on a fatal genetic virus.

This strikes me as a problem in Muslim countries or parts of civilized countries that are controlled by Muslims. They are the likely buyers of lists of Jews. Bad stuff.

The left should be happy that they never found their purported gay gene they used to assure us existed.

23andMe is co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, whose sister was CEO of YouTube.

Both companies are tools whereby the oligarchs seek to control us.

You should never volunteer your DNA to anyone, and always use a VPN.

Ok. Seven paragraphs in and it hasn’t said anything about what happens if your DNA is “hacked.”

It did have a chance to make anti-Semitic comments in this seven short paragraphs.

Many people uses these services to trace ancestry and family trees. But some people discover secrets about their ancestry.

Serious anti-semitism.

I thought this was from some fringe site.

It’s the BBC.
