How on Earth did they manage to fuck this up?
They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.
It’s insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.
Reminder that you can download and save your data locally then revoke your consent agreements and delete your data. Who knows if it will actually be deleted though.
Edit: Also revoke your consent to store your sample if you allowed that.
Yeah good luck with that.
I doubt they’d actually delete data now. Who are you going to sue if they don’t? They’re bankrupt and they’ll just pull a “oh we forgot to delete it!”
They need these samples and data to be sold off to pay off a lot of groups so I honestly don’t believe they’ll delete anything
If your brother or even cousin did a test it’s about good enough to be applied to you too for a lot of cases so yay, so much fun about human DNA databases now being available to the highest bidder.
Who would bid? Maybe America’s new Nazi’s would like an insight in their racial purity? So many fun ideas!
That company should be burned down to the ground

Seems like they did a pretty good job of burning themselves to the ground.
