Oh noooo -
I keep my chromes to myself!
I really want to see what it shows. I have Sioux ancestry somewhere between 1/16 and 1/8. And some relation to an American explorer… But I wouldn’t do this without a guarantee that the government can’t use it.
Paranoid much? I know, I don’t trust the government anymore.
Also insurance companies. I get that they are not technically allowed to deny coverage but it is real easy to bury someone in bureaucracy.
I also really want to do this. I think it would be fascinating. But, like the comments ahead of mine… I agree. We believe we are free here in the great USA, but give anyone the chance to screw you and they certainly will.
FYI Fractional heritage is a human faux legal construct. Genetic assortment does not work that way.
That being said, you may find this as interesting as your Sioux ancestors.
You always suspected some of your co-workers and in-laws were a bit bananas. Now you have proof. Sorta.
Do you use Google Maps? You can run but you’ll just get tired.
Do you talk to the NSA through your Alexa? I do. Haaaaaa
Privacy went out the door in 1986.
Couldn’t they at least do turn by turn assistance?
I actually shut mine off a couple of years ago, but it probably turned itself back on the last time I needed directions.
Ancestry knows why I have insomnia, the NSA knows what I have in the house, google knows where I go and that I love cats.
I admire those weird people who live in the woods “off the grid”, but I really hate bugs.
Seriously (for a moment) - living a boringly squeaky clean life, I kinda don’t think government employees with no agenda mean me harm. The folks who want to renew my car warranty that is not expiring in the next few years are the ones I wish did not have my phone number.
Also consider that if they tracked people as much as people i think overly fear, then women who were drugged on dates would have evidence that might be subpoenaed and trafficked persons would be easier to rescue.
About those people who live in the woods…
Maybe stay home and safe with the cats
Your DNA can and will be used by law enforcement without your knowledge or approval when you use this service
I USED IT AND NOW JEFF BEZOS CAN SEE INTO MY HOUSE
I thought you lived in his house?
i’m all up in his rocket
i GOT A SHIRT FOR THAT…
Nope. Not volunteering my DNA to a database that will inevitably reach government data centers.
Part of it is already there - although, I understand the full set only gets passed thru males. Two of our daughters ran the same test and their results were quite different, calling into question the accuracy and consistency of these tests.
Before the jokes start, yes I trust my dear spouse of over 30 years. 
(Besides, we don’t have a pool, so no pool boys/girls and our postal carriers have been universally ugly.)
Part of many Americans’ culture is to protect family at all costs. Even to the point of giving them a place to hide or destroying evidence if possible. The police have an amazing ability to collect the DNA of persons who were at a crime scene and DNA does not have a timer on it to tell authorities whether it landed at the crime scene before, during or after a crime. Consider this.
How would you feel if your child (or yet-unborn grandchild) was suspected by the police of a serious crime and they had unatributed DNA they believed (whether wrongly or rightly) that your loved-one was the culprit, but could not collect enough probable cause for a DNA warrant. So, the detective has his mother-in-law sign up for DNA service and uses samples from a tossed food container for submission. And that provides “proof” to them that your relative was “at” the “scene”. So they pursue your relative, to the exclusion of better suspects. …you played an instrumental role in their arrest. All legal (even if unethical and lousy police work). And if the arrest came many years after the crime, how much evidence could the arrested person put together for defense? Very difficult to prove a negative…
DNA evidence is a form of discrimination because it plays upon how brains work. People assume truth and validity in complicated data and systems they don’t understand. People assume, because they don’t understand statistics, that a billion-to-one-odds that this is the suspect’s DNA, means it is irrefutable. When actually it is saying that there could be 7.5 people on this planet with the same DNA, on average. When and how was it placed. And what possible suspects were ignored.
Information from the past can impact the future.
perfect to find out if a relative did something bad around 30 years ago.
