Gregory's ServerUsing DNA similarity to trace people who hide with their relatives after domestic violence. also political dissidents who have fled from an authoritarian state abroad, etc.

 You can change telephone number, address, email, social media accounts, personal web sites, hair style, eye color with contact lenses, look with cosmetic chirurgy, even gender by taking hormones. But you cannot change your own DNA, the DNA of your relatives, or forbid your relatives to have their DNA atchived by 23andme, competing companies or the state. it is a biometric feature and unchangable by definition. And still 23andme published millions profiles of most private data, endangering for eternity not only millions of people but also dozens of millions of their relatives and all their offspring from now to the end of life on earth (or at least to the end of computer use by DNA-based lifeforms on earth). Each time another DNA database provider publishes their DNA profiles, the new data can and will be combined with the existing public data, multiplying the threat and rising exponentially. Human rights, citizen rights are the issue. Without privacy, you may no longer dare to actually express your meaning, work as a journalist, live your religion, go to the doctor etc. |
@Life_is @nblr But you have to admit that you could have found a person fleeing domestic violence, hiding with their relatives, in the old analog days by looking in a phone book. Yeah?
