Comment on Thomas 🔭✨ (@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io) 23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome

This just blows my fucking mind. Same thing happened with Crunchyroll, apparently I could have been part of a class action lawsuit when it was found out that they were selling users data. But I didn’t hear about it, didn’t get any letters and didn’t see the email. The date came and went. Because I didn’t “take action” in time I apparently forfeit my right to my piece of the settlement AND to sue.

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT LEGAL. How can you make the least amount of effort to notify someone after illegally fucking up their life, then when they don’t respond (because they didn’t see the notification or whatever), say, “well legally that means they’re ok with it, and can’t do anything in the future”

What the fuck
