    Shell company owned by United States gov buys 23andMe. Now you have family history records for a ton of people. Deportations tick up and from places you won’t think of.

        The problematic thing with genetic data is that it isn’t just about your own choice. If one person gives away their information, then that also allows to draw conclusions about their relatives.
