Beware: FBI, Other Agencies Might Go After Your Voluntary DNA Records
Kashmir Hill reports at Fusion that DNA results from companies like 23 and Me are being requested by law enforcement agencies, something that is likely to start happening more and more. From the article:Both Ancestry.com and 23andMe stipulate in their privacy policies that they will turn information over to law enforcement if served with a court order. 23andMe says it's received a couple of requests from both state law enforcement and the FBI, but that it has "successfully resisted them." ... Ancestry.com would not say specifically how many requests it's gotten from law enforcement. ... "On occasion when required by law to do so, and in this instance we were, we have cooperated with law enforcement and the courts to provide only the specific information requested but we don’t comment on the specifics of cases,” said a spokesperson.(Related Wired article here.)Read more of this story at Slashdot.
