      They not only have (not own) the DNA of every person who's used it but also large parts of the DNA of all of their close relatives, consenting or not.

            I know it’s a meme sub but that happened back in 2020.

              Yes and (read: /s but key truth) by conditional probability we know that a relatively small sample^*^ is sufficient to infer variance across populations with a high degree of accuracy.

              ^*^ Assuming uniform random, which does not at all describe their dataset. The key truth however is that this data is like a massive, uninterrupted game of minesweeper with a huge number of implicitly solved cells. Hence its value to any genomicist.

                I was really hoping this was made up.

                  Ancestry.com was founded in 1997.... 20 years seems appropriate
