23andMe gets court approval to sell DNA data from 15 million customers

by

Bankrupt 23andMe just got court approval to try and sell its most valuable asset: your genetic data.

Yes, the DNA data from 15 million customers could soon go to the highest bidder.

A judge is letting the sale move forward—just with a slightly slower timeline—despite major privacy red flags.

Turns out, trusting a company that couldn’t turn a profit since 2021 with your genetic code… might not have been the best idea.
