feld (feld@bikeshed.party)'s status on Sunday, 08-Oct-2023 05:19:06 JSTfeld 23andme claims I have a tiny bit of ashkenazi Jew in me which I am 100% certain is bullshit. You'd be a fool to trust this data unless you had the raw genome data for the people too which is the serious part but:
> The data doesn't appear to include the raw genetic data the company analyzes and instead includes information like sex, birth year, genetic ancestry results and geographic ancestry information.
All they got was their profile. Everyone is treating this like the apocalypse but it's like hacking into ancestry.com. I had an account, I know what is in there. Worthless unless you want to impersonate family members for scams.
This is being blown way out of proportion until there's proof the raw data was leaked and that's not even directly accessible to you in your profile
