It really sucks because it’s not just the data of the people who chose to participate in this, but also effectively all of of these people’s biological children.
I know that my idiot parents both did one of these things - it’s so frustrating.
I AM VINDICATED.
So many people I know kept pushing me to do this cause they thought it was fun, and they always thought I was paranoid for saying I didn’t want to give a corp my literal dna.
At my job with the city the way you punch-in is using your fingerprint. I told them I didn’t want to do it. It’s the only way to do it. When I looked into it, the company owns your biometric data and can do whatever they want with it. Can’t wait to see the blowback on this one.
We all knew this shit was coming. Big Pharma is cartoon villain shit.
They’ve been giving it to cops for a while. They’ll use the extended family to pin point their unknown person, so like if you have some third cousins that have gotten in, they’ll possibly be able to find you. If a parent has their information in, or both, well your family for a few generations will be fucked.
im not a geneticist but knowing how much cops suck & misuse dna ‘evidence’, i can’t really imagine how knowing a suspect could be in the hundreds of an extended family actually be… they must be using it mostly to get around having to procure a warrant to test people’s dna
We all knew this was going to happen honestly, but it makes me want to puke to think that it’s even legal.
Every damn warning we said about this company has come true. The only reason this is legal is because there’s money to be made at the expense of others.
