I misinterpret 23andme results and believe I have a horrific genetic condition. I then delete my data, commit suicide, and my family sues the company.

I’m not saying this is what they are worried about, but it could be something along those lines. I work in big finance, and there is a LOT of regulation around data retention, and it’s a lot more nuanced than people think.

Should we be allowed to delete the data? Absolutely. This will likely be a hallmark case setting president for the future.
