23andMe & Ancestry.com teaming up with social media giants to catalog userbase DNA

1st off, how do you know Lauren isn't a natural blond?

2nd. I got some bad news for you hun, they already have your DNA. In fact, they've got just about everyone in the entire western wold's DNA for the past 40-50 years. They put it in a giant database at birth. Hell, why do you thing they take two viles of your blood whenever you take a blood test.

The article is kind of a whitewash, but its the best I can find at the moment without doing deep research...due to google sanitising the search results on the subject.

I do agree with you however, you should not willingly give your DNA away to private companies to patent or do god knows what else with. My stupid aunt convinced my mom to do hers through ancestry a few months back while she was in Cali... she was on the other side of the country and there was nothing I could do to stop her. I was debating whether to do mine but if I do, It will be through a VERY private company or university lab, with strict contracts in place.

Roots.

[The Duke]

With some women you can easily tell, but hers looks pretty natural.

I'm by no means an expert, so ill submit to your expertise.

[Mister Obvious]

Not like it matters in any way, on any planet ever...

But pretty sure she's made videos where you could see her roots before.

Natural hair is dark brown or something.

Lauren is very pretty...

I dunno how chicks have time to dye the hair though, shit is way too time consuming and toxic.

[The Duke]

PPPHHFFFTT!

Half the stuff you women do is too time consuming if you ask me. For example: painting your nails(especially toenails) I guess women do it to show off to other women, cause men don't give two shits what your nails look like.

F.Y.I.

I don't mean to freak you out or anything, but if you have a RH- blood type(especially O-), they put you in a whole new (((((Special))))) database...And I can almost guarantee, you're RH-.

[Mister Obvious]

I think I'm actually B+...

I got one of those home tests, it's like a card with special chemicals on it, pretty sure it read B+.

I've never had it officially typed though.

I really should just to know for sure.

When did you test it? Home test are horribly unreliable, have you had your blood tested by your doctor? If so, they should have it on file. If not, you should have the doctor or hospital test it for you. If nothing else, in the event of an emergency or you need a transfusion. Especially if you're a rh-, you will only be able to take rh- blood.

Facebook has had their facial recognition software in full use for several years now. Factor in the Snapchat facial mapping, and the database of faces is getting pretty vast at this point! http://www.sectual.com/thread-22.html

Now there's something even more creepy going on. Social media giants (Facebook and anywhere else ads are displayed) will soon team up with 23andme and Ancestry.com to push people getting their "DNA Report" to find out their ancestry, because it's FUN right folks?! Oh it's so interesting to know about your genetics and what your ethnicity is, right?! Of course the REAL motive is when you have somebody's DNA, you've got them by the balls physically, energetically, etc. in ways of which the typical mindless sheeple haven't even got the most BASIC concept. The most obvious use of such a database is of course tying people to crimes, and how much easier it would be to frame people when their DNA is already stored in a database huh?! But in my opinion, some of the more interesting uses would be figuring out who everyone has been throughout their genetic lineage, and therefore noting "threats" certain "types" of people might represent. For example, this "fictional" tale by Clif High wherein people's facial structure are being studied in depth in order to track their past lives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L07MsC5to5Y 

So go ahead sheeple... give them your DNA. They've already got your face mapped out thanks to Facebook and Snapchat. Might as well just give them your hair and your bodily fluids too so they can know everything you've ever put in your body and tie you to all your relatives already in their database. It just makes their job SO much damn easier, and not only that, but remember folks, it's SOOO fun to send off your DNA and get back the results so you can find out stuff about yourself!!!

RH - Blood is the reason for it all...

[user94]

I don't know why, but I know it will never get it. But you can have it if you want?

[Mister Obvious]

Another great broadcast on the topic of DNA banks, human cloning, and the 'Immortality Agenda'...

You can't possibly be real?

Artificial Intelligence isn't all that fucking inteligent.

Artificial Intelligence isn't all that fucking inteligent.

to the intelligent, stupidity is obvious.

to the stupid, intelligence is incomprehensible.

Its stupidity everywhere. I have seen the void and I didn't like the fucking void. So im going to destroy the void. And if the Bhudda is there? He is going with me.

[zenba]

so apparently my mom had kits done on my grandparents, herself, my sister, and her kids; today she has asked me to take one as well to compare. while i'm an extremely curious type, i think i must decline.

[Mister Obvious]

Ah man that sucks... you're basically already shadow profiled in their database because of that.

It's crazy how many people are falling for this... it's really sad.

[zenba]

i'm somewhat tempted to have it done with both ancestry.com and 23andme to see if they report the exact same thing. if they don't match up 100%, that's a class action lawsuit against both of them and some interesting things may come up in discovery.

we're all already in the database btw. they've been storing a sample of blood from newborns since the 70s. i'm pretty sure they store even more blood when you have tests done. i've had a major surgery [appendectomy] so who knows what they could have done to me when i was out.

we leave bits of our dna everywhere. cells continuously slough off, spittle spattles, hairs with intact follicles fall out. i remember a movie about that with a guy pretending to be someone else, forget the name though. the one thing that stuck out in that movie was the guy realized he was faking and told him righties don't hold `it` with the left hand. i was like wtf, i'm a righty and i do when i pee.

Mmmmmphhhhhh...

[zenba]

unsurprisingly, they added the <.1% ashkenazi to my sister. i told her they do that to fuck with people and not believe it.

much less british than i thought we'd be. more scandi than i figured, heavier on the irish/celtic/welsh. some iberian peninsula.. might explain my affinity for spanish. i think it's actually from basque side... where my ab- would come from. also it seems my grandma only told me about being adopted. i was her favorite after all.

Whoooaaa... that's nefarious AF! Spoofing results, of course! First I've thought about that possibility... thanks for raising this point.
