Veintisiete estados y el Distrito de Columbia han demandado a 23andMe, una empresa de pruebas genéticas, para evitar que venda datos genéticos personales sin el permiso de sus clientes. Esta demanda surge porque otra empresa de biotecnología quiere comprar 23andMe, que tiene problemas de dinero. El Fiscal General de Oregón, Dan Rayfield, dijo en un comunicado que estos datos, que incluyen muestras biológicas, información de ADN, rasgos de salud y expedientes médicos, no deben venderse sin el consentimiento claro de cada persona. 23andMe, creada en 2006, vende kits de ADN para que los clientes descubran su origen y encuentren parientes. Sin embargo, la empresa no ha logrado ser rentable desde que empezó a cotizar en bolsa en 2021. En marzo, despidió al 40% de sus empleados y se declaró en bancarrota. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, que quiere comprar la empresa por 256 millones de dólares, ha prometido seguir las políticas de privacidad de 23andMe y las leyes. Además, se ha contratado a un experto independiente en privacidad del consumidor para revisar la venta y cómo podría afectar la privacidad de los clientes.
