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.

My brother gave my whole family gift cards for 23&Me. Pretty hopeless at that point.
