    Default Why nobody here Is talking about 23andme and it's future?

    I find It very strange since most of you have been tested with 23andme, also as someone who was considering buying a kit now I think about It. Since the company Is falling down due huge amount of lawsuits and hackers stole millions of RAW data's specially Ashkenazi Jews being their primary target.

    I personally wouldn't like my raw data being all over the Internet but oh well...


    Here are some Important news article's

    I also suspect 23andme would start selling In countries where Is not available due keep the profits going by selling their service In new markets.

    Yeah they sure are, try Ancestry DNA also one thing I noticed after all this came out to the public Ancestry started 2 or 3 security filters when you try to log In, at first I thought was ridiculous but knowing later all this makes total sense!!

    I have Ancestry too (have membership) but this latest community update is just a mess and everything they offer behind paywall community regarded is like some black comedy.
    Regarding matches they are pretty good too.

    23andme has 5000 matches limit, which is far less than Ancestry.

    Do you have proof that Ashkenazi were deliberately targeted? An example of such proof would be the number of Ashkenazi who had their raw data stolen, compared to others. An example of something that would not be proof would be the number of "DNA Relatives" profile scraped, because that would influenced by endogamy.

    Shares are like 0.71 American, if you have faith in the future of the company it would be a good time to buy a few.

    A solid proof of that I don't have that, just visit and read what has been discussed In reddit.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/...to_nearly_0_a/

    I find It odd people are being clueless of that company they are spending their money. 23andme it's at big risk right now and could dissappear from day to night.

    Also seems nobody here bother to share anything as If didn't matter when actually does.
