Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

But hear me out, I have no control over my cousin or aunt or some random relative getting one of these tests and now this shitty company has a pretty good idea what a large chunk of my DNA looks like. If people from both sides of my family do it they have an even better idea what my genetic profile looks like. That's not my fault, I never consented to it, and it doesn't seem ok.

I also know about 99.9% of your DNA.
