      Funny that this article doesn’t mention this part…

      “””

      [Although customers can request the company to delete their data, 23andMe won’t necessarily erase all your information. The company has been telling users who request an account deletion: “23andMe and the contracted genotyping laboratory will retain your Genetic Information, date of birth, and sex as required for compliance with legal obligations, pursuant to the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 and California laboratory regulations.” –PCMag article](https://www.pcmag.com/news/23andme-trouble-sparks-calls-for-users-to-delete-their-dna-data-heres-how)

      You can’t. Information has either been sold or gotten into other databases even if the company will not admit this.

      That’s the price you pay for knowing you are in fact 1/900000th [insert your preferred country here].

      Why would that information be harmful? Serious question. Is it like to not get caught doing a crime or being used against you by racists or something? I did it forever ago and there’s really not anything that I can tell obviously would be sensitive. Oh, just thought if maybe insurance companies would use it to make policy decisions. I could see that sucking…like previous conditions or something they won’t cover.

      Yes delete your DNA data that you share with 8 billion other people. Seems moot.
