$30 million / 6.9 million users compromised = $4.35

Your personal genetic privacy is worth less than $5.

I hate class action lawsuits because the payouts are always off of what they should be by like 2 orders of magnitude.

Like nah, you should have to pay me at least half of my money back. Honestly I think they should owe more than people paid for a fuckup this bad. I am worse off than if I had never given you my shit in the first place, I want a full refund and damages

Well, the $30 million is apparently all that 23andMe can afford to pay.

Fucking take it from the executives then. Who took the money? We paid money for this service, where did it go? Get it from them. Liquidate the fucking company, pay us from the proceeds, take money from the execs if that isn’t enough.

You not being able to afford to take care of shit really isn’t my problem. If I do something fucked and owe a lot of money in fines, they’ll garnish my wages. Figure out whose wages to garnish to pay for this, and take their fucking money.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
