Following a major security breach that saw millions of users’ genetic information compromised, 23andMe has updated its terms of service to make it harder to sue. Users have been receiving emails forcing them to opt out of new arbitration rules:

Please notify us within 30 days of receiving this email if you do not agree to the terms, in which case you will remain subject to the current Terms of Service. If you do not notify us within 30 days, you will be deemed to have agreed to the new terms.

Heads up that it’s not the correct email they link when you email them to not agree to their new TOS.

We need laws addressing shit like “if you don’t say no in 30 days, we’ll take it as a yes”…

If you can get convicted of rape for assuming silence to be consent, then why the fuck does shit like this pass muster?

Rapists generally don’t have millions of dollars to buy politicians with.

Not wrong, but it’s a shitty answer. Not shitty on your part, you’re just calling it what it is, no problem with that at all, but that’s bullshit…

If it’s not shitty on the commentor’s part amd they are telling the truth (telling like it is), then how come the answer’s shitty?
