Didn't know that one, but my impression is that people don't really know the scale of big pharma involvement. It's been there for years wrt. controlling stock, founder don't really control the company much.

The amazing thing is that they have been fairly explicit about it, and literally none of the punters either notice or care. I have argued that Galton did it first. https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/10/dna-ancestry-tests-cheap-data-price-companies-23andme …

Galton was the best.
Now you made me like 23andme slightly more.

I doubt it. I think they are just waiting for polygenic scores to be good enough to identify people with high risk for diseases they control medicines for pre-treatment for (think statins). This way, medicalize a larger group. Good idea if done right, but big pharma lies & cheats

at this point i figure almost everyone has given them the data so I'm not alone :/ we'll need to do something really, really drastic to win back ownership of our data.
