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 [email protected] 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.

Here’s an email template for what to write: https://www.patreon.com/posts/94164861

    I had them destroy my sample and delete my data the week they went public, so I’m glad we’ve finally reached the “I told you so” phase of this.

      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.

          yeah, and I assume only the pool of people who has requested deletion of their data is in a position to do this. @Artyom you should consider doing this.
