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.

Yes, I understand, but what I mean is directly related to the main point of this post. My daughter is entitled to $2.60 winning from this 23&me legal debacle. But the rest of us in our immediate family are not entitled to $2.60 😄
