  • Well, I’m not sure how I feel about preemptively burning your own books, willingly diving back into the stone age for no good reason. Most of the fears outlined in the article are pure speculation and over-reaction to current events. If data from 23 and Me (the source of most of this data being burned) is really getting out there to be purchased, this hiding of data and data destruction does not even inconvenience bad state actors, it only puts up a big bad-actor sourced pay wall in front of legitimate scientists. This is really a shameful cowardice at best, anti-science either way, and at worst they may be actually selling the data to someone and then deleting the public database behind a big flourish with smoke and mirrors. (Reading back my post to myself I guess I am sure how I feel about preemptively burning your own books. It makes me mad apparently. )
