Ancestry stuff has been pretty popular in the US for decades, DNA testing for it is relatively new but just the next easy step.
ancestry is probably the one that datamined the most, and they do share it with LEO more freely than 23 and me.

I was so tempted to try their service, but it was always in the back of my mind, inside the part of my brain that was conscious during marketing 101 class in college: "What's the long term business model here? What happens after they have everyone's genetic identity?" Then it dawned on me like ooooohhhhh that's the plan... no thanks.

Raped some native girl and then... took custody of the child?
No, the other ancestors are all native American. Obviously the child stayed in the native to community.

Yeah; I think it’s the best case scenario that at least the data will be used to develop new drugs.
I hope they use my DNA to make something even more addictive than crack.

Idk if it was just a conspiracy theory, but I thought a lot of these DNA testing websites were funded by the Mormon church.
I feel like they have bags of cash.
I think it's just ancestry

That there's this just opposition must mean quite a decent chunk of politicians and wealthier people may have used this service.

If the child stayed in the native community wouldn't that imply that they would likely grow up to have a child with someone else in that community? And that their descendants would be more than half a percent native genetically?

Uhh yes, sorry. I had it the other way around. Perhaps a native american then raped/had child with a caucasian, who kept the child?

That's certainly a possibility, but it doesn't seem like the most likely explanation to me.

Can whoever posted for everyone to delete their 23andme reply here with an "I told you so?". We owe you that much for alerting us. I saw it a few months ago and did so, thanks!

I know a first cousin of mine did.
Over 15million people used it.The only silver lining is that they've been bought by a research company instead of an insurance company. I don't know if theres a legal leg to stand on per the data. They almost 100% agreed to give up ownership to the company, that's the only way it could do any of the genetic relationship analysis that it did.
2 of my cousins and my sister did.
Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.
