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 ro thieves.

Do what it says in the email and email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

If you have an account with them, do this right now.

If you were dumb enough to pay someone to take your genome for profit, a second grift is just icing on the cake.

Yes. My mother had a teacher named Mrs. Fuchs. And she told me, "you can guess what we all called her." And that was in the 1950s!

Wow, that's dirty. The email you need to opt out at is different from what they link. If you don't respond, you automatically agree to their new TOS which bars you from taking class action against them. Shady af.

I'd pass this around if the writer knew another adverb. I'm tired of 'litchally' people.

Then it should have been upvoted for reality.
