Re:23andMe lays off 100 people as DNA test sales decline by HenryBemis on Friday January 24, 2020 @03:33AM (#22136428)
This is similar to the typical "encryption is for pedophiles" argument. Privacy doesn't mean that I am a criminal and/or my brother/sister/father/mother/children/cousins are murderers.

I also like ALL crimes to be solved and the guilty ones to get what they should, and the innocent ones to be living a life outside jail.

But we got something called "fundamental rights" (at least imho). One of them is privacy. NOT having an insurance company ripping me off because my father had X-Y-Z disease is another right I would like to have. They are already making billions as is. The ones that don't, should get their s..t straight and stop bleeding money for stupid reasons (yes I know from experience). No need to give them the bullet that will injure me (financially).

I think that all these DNA tests was a fad. Kinda like facebook was. People realize that they get very little value from it, and it most likely come back and kick them in the shin one way or another.
