Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
cant believe my dad did one of these, just to find out that he's english. we already knew that
I tell everyone I hear talk about those things not to do it
I hate class action lawsuits because the payouts are always off of what they should be by like 2 orders of magnitude.
Like nah, you should have to pay me at least half of my money back. Honestly I think they should owe more than people paid for a fuckup this bad. I am worse off than if I had never given you my shit in the first place, I want a full refund and damages
Well, the $30 million is apparently all that 23andMe can afford to pay.
Fucking take it from the executives then. Who took the money? We paid money for this service, where did it go? Get it from them. Liquidate the fucking company, pay us from the proceeds, take money from the execs if that isn’t enough.
You not being able to afford to take care of shit really isn’t my problem. If I do something fucked and owe a lot of money in fines, they’ll garnish my wages. Figure out whose wages to garnish to pay for this, and take their fucking money.
they are about to go bankrupt and sell off all the DNA they gathered to the highest bidder too, so enjoy that if you ever used their service. Your data is going to be legally exposed to god knows who.
They gave been giving away the data to any pig with an outstretched trotter all along.
Wheee thank you dumbass 18 year old me
I'm not the brightest bulb but I never trusted any of these DNA gigs. If it's not them selling your DNA data to the highest bidder, it's the potential of data breaches like this where not only is your DNA data up for grabs but I assume credit card info and probably SSN or other personal identifiable information. It's kind of crazy to me.
It's just your genetic coding Michael, what could it cost? $5?
Also aren't these dna like $100 retail? Gotta love that 2000% markup
and yet they charge something like $100 for you to give them that information right?
At least.
damn why would you want a subscription once you have the info the first time? just in case some other knucklehead from your family tree also gives up their info? seems pretty useless
