It's literally ran by Sergey Brin's wife. Some day your data will be part of Google. I'd say we are still a ways off from connecting DNA to advertising, but I'm sure google will "boldly" take us there.

I guess you missed that Sergey had an affair with a young Google employee and divorced Anne Wojcicki. Since then he's remarried another woman, and they have a child together.

Oh god! They divorced in 2015. I am sure if Google had any such plans, it is just as likely with any other CEO up there. Let us worry about real conflict of interest happening elsewhere in Politics, Climate change etc which might dooms us all before these...

Any subsequent marital issues or extracurricular activities of the individuals concerned cannot erase the fact that the venture was literally bootstrapped by Sergey Brin and Google.

Indeed, and it’s not like a billion dollars in google cash couldn’t paper over any disagreement, no matter how ugly.
