Remember that DNA You Gave 23andMe?

[Wig Twistin Season]

Meh. My DNA was already in the system any way.



I’ve been arrested before and was on probation so they already got me.

 

[Gloxina]

Do DNA test cause it's popular brehs

nikkas looked at me crazy when I said not to do that shyt

Always knew better than to voluntary give my genetic profile to some cacs

Exactly.

Never trusted that mess

 

[Fillerguy]

Alarmist. Especially considering the article is behind a pay wall. It doesn't even mention that the DNA is anonymizied and some grant consumers legal ownership of their DNA, meaning 23andme must destroy their data when requested.

So if a non-healthcare entity were to buy 23andme, they would open themselves up to several lawsuits if people decide to sue.

Remember hearing way back that police departments were making queries for DNA. That always rubbed me the wrong way, especially knowing which demographic was the most active.​

 

[fscballin]

Refuse to learn from history and trust cacs in the name of science brehs

95% of the posters in this thread already let cacs inject an unknown substance into their bodies in the name of science

My sister already took one of their tests. My family’s DNA is cooked

nikkas looked at me crazy when I said not to do that shyt

[RamsayBolton]

medical companies have been fukking around with our DNA in particular for decades

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Doesn't mean people should stop using these services. They were new and out there before strong regulations existed. So going forward we should see shyt like this and table legislation that is in place as a contingency to stop data transfer without consent in the future. Everything isn't a finesse. This was the wild West when they first started. Now the industry is getting more streamlined and so should the regulations.

I see the goofy conspiracy nuts in here tryna do a victory lap on some "I told you so" shyt. Smart people don't fear development or the future they learn how to live with it. Regulate it, which is what will come from this development. Advocacy for regulation because there is oversight on this Data which includes medical information not being covered by HIPAA. Alternatively past clients could ask for a block of the sale if there was no clause for transfer of personal data included in the original transaction. Do anything but fear monger. This is now shyt is handled in society NOT just being obtuse and counter productive saying shyt like "y'all let cacs do this n that" type sentiments are not helpful, the presumption always being science is Cacs domain and brehs were unwitting pawns and powerless to opposed such developments. This inferiority complex mindset needs to die.

Knowing all types of health information about myself and what to take in order to maximize and unlock my mental abilities was worth it tenfold.

I went from being a low energy “keyboard warrior” to someone who’s about to finish two STEM degrees and job stacking remote tech jobs because I know what I was deficient in and how I best work. Additionally when new genes are found, someone can check if they have them quickly.

People have no idea how much these companies, the government, etc. know about you anyways if you’re on their Internet. So I rather know a lot more about myself to maximize what I can do.

the main consumer of this type of material would be insurance companies imo.
