Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch
Hegar@kbin.social 11 months agoHi! If you've used it, there's something I was curious about - how many people's names did it show you?
If 50%+ of the 14000 had the feature enabled, it was showing an average of 500-1000 "relatives". Was that what you saw? What degree of relatedness did they have?
I don't think that opting in changes a company's responsibility to not launch a massive, inevitable data security risk, but tbh I'm less interested in discussing who's to blame than I am in hearing more about your experience using the feature. Thanks in advance!

This list shows 1500 people for me. I assume that’s just some arbitrary limit to the number of results. There’s significantly overlap in the relationship lists, so the number of relatives is less than the (140000.51500) that that math might indicate.
