    Very early on with these companies, we started hearing about people who were convicted of crimes because their relatives had used the services and came up in DNA search results despite the fact that they had never committed crimes (not that that makes a difference, but still), and I made a point of never letting my spit rat someone out.

    Surprise, fucking surprise that it’s come to even worse shit.
