California law says genetic testing companies have to get your permission before they store, use or sell your DNA, but the state itself doesn't have to get your permission and has been storing DNA samples from every baby born there since the '80s. Lawmakers want to change that, but face an uphill battle.
It’s not even close to impossible. It is very possible to end the collection of private data. We just need a law that makes it illegal. Unfortunately the people who make the laws are the ones who want to install cameras in your bathroom so they can watch you poop.
What a time to be alive…
