I don't like 23andme, but don't the shadow profiles sorta implicitly exist whenever you're working with DNA data?

If their DNA test can recognise first cousins, then they've got a recognisable DNA profile for each user's parents, grandparents, children and so on.

So does the government and probably ancestors.com … what’s the big problem here?
