AnneTheWriter<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor" class="u-url mention">@<span>dangillmor</span></a></span> </p><p>Your post makes some very incorrect claims about DNA testing and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GeneticGenealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeneticGenealogy</span></a>. </p><p>Yes, hackers stole the DNA information for people who tested with <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/23AndMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>23AndMe</span></a>. No, the DNA data of people who did NOT test with them was NOT stolen--because it was never there.</p><p>Relationships can be deduced using <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DNA</span></a> (IF YOU HAVE EXISTING FAMILY TREE FILES to pair it with, and the MANY hours to group your results into family lines)....but your specific <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Genetic</span></a> information (hereditary diseases, eye color, etc.) is NOT in the database, because that cannot be accurately deduced based only on your relatives&#39; DNA.</p><p>Those of us who research <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Genealogy</span></a> know well that <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DNAtesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DNAtesting</span></a> is not for the faint of heart. You tend to get...surprises (like &quot;Grandpa cheated&quot;).</p><p>You&#39;re also handing your DNA results over to a company (and sometimes copying this to other websites), so you have to trust them to keep it safe, just like you do with any bank, employer, tax return prep company, big data company, etc.</p>
