I recently interviewed with a 23andMe employee and specifically asked about the company's concerns regarding the public's perception of data privacy. The 23andMe employee was absolutely adamant that 23andMe would never sell customer data or allow anyone else access to it for commercial reasons. They said it went totally against company principles and that the company cares deeply about it.
And now this. I wonder if that employee was just not very attentive to what was actually going on, or perhaps the company leadership deceived the rest of the company? Or maybe this is just yet another example of a once-noble company inevitably succumbing to the allure of "growth at all costs".
