23andMe is done - What now?

I'm going to come out and say it: I screwed up. I had this sensation in the back of my head, you know? - Don't do it, no need, you are who you are, who cares what your DNA says- and yet.

I truly gained nothing from this. I found out I'm mainly Irish/Spanish, which I knew already and not much more besides that. But, it also opened a can of worms- finding out a family member is not related to me broke my heart.

All that said...

WTF are they going to do with the Data?

Is it up for auction? Anyone can just bid for the data? Will the government step in and prevent, say China from buying this information?

Ok - breathe - I realize I might be exaggerating a bit, but there's something in the back of my head again, and I don't want to ignore it this time.

This story is not big, it's huge. The right thing to do would be for all the information to be destroyed. Is that going to happen? Somehow I doubt it, that information is just too valuable.

Where is The Joker when you need him?
