Vinte e sete estados e o Distrito de Columbia processaram a 23andMe, uma empresa de testes genéticos, para evitar que ela venda dados genéticos sem a permissão dos clientes. Essa ação judicial começou porque uma empresa de biotecnologia quer comprar a 23andMe, que está com problemas de dinheiro. O Procurador-Geral do Oregon, Dan Rayfield, disse que informações como amostras biológicas, DNA, dados de saúde e prontuários médicos não devem ser vendidos sem a autorização clara de cada pessoa. A 23andMe, que começou em 2006, oferece kits de teste de DNA para as pessoas descobrirem sua origem e encontrarem parentes. Mas a empresa tem tido dificuldades para ganhar dinheiro desde que suas ações foram vendidas pela primeira vez em 2021. Em março, ela demitiu 40% de seus funcionários e pediu proteção contra falência. A Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, que planeja comprar a empresa por 256 milhões de dólares, prometeu seguir as regras de privacidade da 23andMe e as leis. Um grupo independente que defende a privacidade dos consumidores vai analisar a venda e como ela pode afetar os clientes.
