    Consumers are fully to blame, though. Thats basically like selling your entire web browser history to a company so they can tell you what your personality is. Like, did people actually think these companies weren’t gonna sell this data sooner or later? State of capitalism.

      What a bunch of libertarian bullshit. Every layman can’t be expected to be an expert on literally everything so as to make sure they don’t buy or consume a product that will hurt or damage them in some way, or do business with a corporation that will screw them over. This is literally the reason government exists.

        You do not have to be an expert to know you shouldn’t willingly give a non-medical company your entire genetic map. This is common sense, but perhaps not for people like you who thinks the gov exists solely to protect citizens. Also very confused how my take is “libertarian bs”? I swear more than half the people using this website are truly insufferable.

          People like me? I would never do such a thing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to blame people who did, for the actions of avaricious capitalists.

          It’s really easy to not be a scumbag.

      And for the people that their doctors reccomended it to them? It’s their fault for trusting their medical provider? No. You should hold these corporations accountable for their shitty behavior. I guess people should stop buying oil & gas because that is killing the very planet they walk on. Oh wait! They can’t without an alternative that the government could easily provide! The company didn’t need to do shitty things in the first place. Fuck capitalism and fuck companies.
