23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome ro thieves.

Do what it says in the email and email [email protected] that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

If you have an account with them, do this right now.

Yes. My mother had a teacher named Mrs. Fuchs. And she told me, "you can guess what we all called her." And that was in the 1950s!

What's the passive-aggressive version of a "leonine contract?" Like getting bribed with french fries to waive some legal right.

Fuck all forms of 'by doing [blank] you actually agree to [wildly unrelated bullshit].' I'm prepared to say: if it's not ink on paper, contract law does not apply. You can stop providing service under whatever TOS you like. What happens in court is about actual, physical, normal-ass contracts.

If you were dumb enough to pay someone to take your genome for profit, a second grift is just icing on the cake.

I'd pass this around if the writer knew another adverb. I'm tired of 'litchally' people.
