 First Ancestry and now 23andMe. Who's idea was it to commercially collect genetic data anyway? https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/private-23andme-user-data-is-up-for-sale-after-online-scraping-spree/ 
 @7f02ec12 mormon techbros. and am not even joking. ancestry.com was funded by mormons and they had to do a whole "ooooh but we !science" song and dance. 
 @7f02ec12 good question.

Dunno, but thanks to my sister, nazis can probably use it to ID me if i became a target of the state.

Not cool at all.
