23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome ro thieves.

Do what it says in the email and email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

If you have an account with them, do this right now.

How can you be sure they did what you requested? How can you verify?

If I was that guy I would dig for the leak and search through it. If I would find even a shred of my data, that's a lawsuit.
