Makes
you really wonder how many privacy laws that DNA test
company violated.
Maybe
the relative gave permission to match to others or for
"research purposes"?
Thing
that is creepy here is that data is used with some other
information for purposes that are more nefarious than just
solving crimes or identifying unidentified corpses. Like
identifying sperm donors or digging out information about
cheating whores spawning cuckold babies. Might potentially
lead to more than little family drama. At some point it
might become a tool of extra legal political or other
suppression. Maybe even target selection tool for genocide.
Who knows.
I
think there's a lot more at stake with this stupidity than
just identification criminals or missing people.
