23andMe Bankruptcy Sparks Privacy Alarms

News of a potential 23andMe bankruptcy has sparked widespread concern over the fate of millions of users’ genetic data. As one of the largest personal genomics companies, 23andMe holds highly sensitive DNA information that could be viewed as a valuable asset in bankruptcy proceedings. Experts warn that without strict legal safeguards, this data could be sold or misused, raising serious questions about consent, privacy, and genetic ownership in times of corporate collapse.
