You Gave Them Your DNA… And Now They're Auctioning Off Your Soul
Riddle me this — when you spit in that tiny tube and sent it off to 23andMe, did you think you were unlocking family mysteries… or accidentally licensing your entire genetic code like bad fine print in an Apple update?

Turns out, 23andMe didn’t just want to tell you that you're 2% Viking — they wanted to own the blueprint to your existence. And now that they’re broke, they’ve basically thrown up an "Everything Must Go!" sign… including your double helix.
Here’s what’s wild: They kept your saliva sample, sequenced your genetic data, and stored the entire instruction manual to your biological existence in a server farm somewhere. It’s not just ancestry percentages and whether cilantro tastes like soap to you — it's your actual, one-of-a-kind, 3-billion-letter genetic recipe.
And now? Thanks to a bankruptcy ruling, your DNA could be part of a fire sale to the highest bidder. Pharmaceutical companies, marketers, insurance companies, or some biotech bro in Silicon Valley who thinks he can grow a clone army and call it "disruption."
The kicker? 23andMe’s privacy policy has a little footnote that says:"We may change these rules at any time, for any reason." Meaning your deepest, most intimate biological data is protected... until it isn’t.
And no, the judge who approved this sale clearly didn’t take the 23andMe test — because if he had, he might’ve seen the Gene for Common Sense missing in action.
Over 14 million customers worldwide gave them their DNA — now, it’s up for grabs.
This isn’t just a data breach. This is the hacker code to your humanity.
Your family tree. Your disease risks. Your unique biology.
The ultimate private data — your human source code — now on clearance sale.
Forget passwords.
Your genetic code is forever..The eternal marketing profile. The forever hack.
Which means someday, you may get a knock on your door from a perfect clone of yourself saying: "Hi, I’m you. I was grown in a lab, sponsored by Pfizer and Meta. Also, here’s a targeted ad for arthritis medicine based on your future knee pain."
So yeah, you thought you were buying a kit to learn your Irish heritage, but you basically licensed your biological IP for free. You don’t technically own your own DNA in their databases — they were the interpreter, but now they’re selling the sheet music to the highest bidder.
Moral of the story: Never give your DNA to a company named like a Wi-Fi password.
Can you delete your digital data AND ensure they’ve physically destroyed your DNA sample?
Because it’s not just data — it’s literally YOU.
Prologue: Congratulations, You’re Now a Corporate Asset
Once upon a time, you spit into a tube because you were curious about your ancestry, your health markers, or maybe whether you’re genetically predisposed to hate cardio. What you didn’t know was that you were also handing over the blueprint to your entire existence — your genetic code, your family history, your biological vulnerabilities — all wrapped up in a nice little data package. And thanks to a recent bankruptcy court ruling, that data is now officially considered a corporate asset.
Not private.
Not protected.
Liquidatable.
The judge didn’t rule on whether your DNA should be treated like the most sensitive, irreversible form of personal data in existence — no, the decision was purely financial. In the eyes of the court, your genome is just another thing to be auctioned off to the highest bidder alongside office furniture and unused laptops.
And here’s the kicker: This isn’t theoretical. The asset sale process is already in motion. These sales can close in as little as 30 to 90 days. You can file to delete your account, but it’s like trying to unring a bell. Your physical DNA sample may still exist in storage. Your anonymized genetic data may already be bundled, backed up, and ready to transfer. And once it’s out there — it’s out there forever.
This isn’t a password leak. It’s not a marketing list. This is the source code of human life — now treated like clearance inventory in a bankruptcy court.
So while you were out there trying to learn if you have Viking ancestors, you may have just opened the door to a future where your genetic code is used for profit, profiling, or worse.
