It's funny because people are genuinely upset at others who do send their dna around; but assume that their own government might allow such a misuse of personal identifiable information. If your government allows that, the problem is the government, not the people who sent their dna to 23andme.

And you think that not having sent your dna to 23andme would be a good protection from that? Like, since you are among the smart ones who didn't send the dna, you can keep quietly minding your business while the government "rounds up" people on a racial basis?
