Genetic testing company 23andMe (now Chrome Holding Co.) has agreed to pay $18 million to settle claims from a coalition of 43 attorneys general that it failed to protect customers’ genetic data.

So sad that this lawsuit was only for US customers. Would have loved to participate. On the other hand, I don’t give a single shit about my genetic data. Been using the .csv file 23andme sent me as junk test data whenever I build any sort of csv parsing functionality lol
