      That’s funny, you paid to give them your data. They get to keep it now, that’s what you agreed to.

        Not funny, it’s fucked up is what it is. Don’t blame consumers for a companies shady tactics.

          Consumers are fully to blame, though. Thats basically like selling your entire web browser history to a company so they can tell you what your personality is. Like, did people actually think these companies weren’t gonna sell this data sooner or later? State of capitalism.

            What a bunch of libertarian bullshit. Every layman can’t be expected to be an expert on literally everything so as to make sure they don’t buy or consume a product that will hurt or damage them in some way, or do business with a corporation that will screw them over. This is literally the reason government exists.

              You do not have to be an expert to know you shouldn’t willingly give a non-medical company your entire genetic map. This is common sense, but perhaps not for people like you who thinks the gov exists solely to protect citizens. Also very confused how my take is “libertarian bs”? I swear more than half the people using this website are truly insufferable.

                People like me? I would never do such a thing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to blame people who did, for the actions of avaricious capitalists.

                It’s really easy to not be a scumbag.

            And for the people that their doctors reccomended it to them? It’s their fault for trusting their medical provider? No. You should hold these corporations accountable for their shitty behavior. I guess people should stop buying oil & gas because that is killing the very planet they walk on. Oh wait! They can’t without an alternative that the government could easily provide! The company didn’t need to do shitty things in the first place. Fuck capitalism and fuck companies.

          If you trusted the literal definition of you to an American company, after two centuries of American companies proving no capitalist entity can be trusted, you fully deserve everything that happens as a result. And I do mean everything. If a random state actor clones you after purchasing a license for your DNA, and replaced you with that replicant, you deserve it. You agreed to those terms.

            You my friend are an idiot. I already said this above but what about the people who trusted their medical provider who reccomended this service to them to find a proper diagnosis? They should just get fucked for trusting a professional in the field. We fucking rely on companies to a fault. It’s ass. we could you know blame the company for the shitty acrions of collecting this data rather than the average ignorant consumers. That’s like blaming the person who told you your significant other is cheating on you for ruining your marriage, or even blaming yourself. It’s asinine.

              I’m sorry they were dumb enough to trust that this time, a company would totally not do the worst thing possible, after decades on decades of every single company doing the worst thing possible, including the company employing their doctor.

            That’s a truly awful take. Especially for people who have since learned to be more mindful about their data. We need solidarity to fight corporations, not punitive treatment.
