23andMe agreed to pay $18 million to settle claims over a 2023 data breach affecting 6.9 million users.

And that is before the lawyers take most of it. Basically zero consequences for breach of DNA sequences, health reports, ethnicity, race, location, etc. Fascists surely won’t use this for anything horrific.

I never understood these settlements. Some asshole lawyers get millions and then the real victims get 2 dollars?

WTF?

How and where is any of this normal? Oh, wait, pet me guess....
