⚠️ Genetic privacy alert: 23andMe’s bankruptcy puts your DNA data at risk 🔬📉

With user data now part of potential asset sales, EFF is urging all customers to act now:

🧬 Download your data — store it securely for personal use
🗑️ Delete your account + data — this includes reports, raw data, and family tree connections
❌ Revoke research consent — and explicitly request sample destruction

Why it matters:
• DNA reveals more than identity — it exposes health, ancestry, and family connections
• The data doesn’t just belong to you — it can implicate relatives who never opted in
• A new owner might not respect your privacy

Take control now. Your genes deserve better security than a bankruptcy fire sale.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · How to Delete Your 23andMe DataThis week, the genetic testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy, which means the genetic data the company collected on millions of users is now up for sale. If you don't want your data included in any potential sale, it’s a good time to ask the company to delete it.

🚨 Digital risk: Florida’s SB 868 is a wrecking ball aimed at encrypted communication 🔐💣 Oh, Florida. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This proposed legislation would:
📵 Ban disappearing messages
🛑 Force platforms to break end-to-end encryption
🔓 Grant unrestricted parental + law enforcement access to private DMs
⚠️ Override Florida’s own two-party consent laws

Why it matters:
• Any “backdoor” for law enforcement becomes a vulnerability for everyone
• Teens need encryption too — for safety, support, and crisis communication
• Existing investigative tools already allow lawful access when needed

This bill doesn’t protect children — it weakens the privacy and safety of every user. And if it passes in Florida, it could become a model for nationwide surveillance creep.

🛡️ Encryption protects all of us. Break it for some, and you break it for everyone.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Florida’s Anti-Encryption Bill Is a Wrecking Ball to Privacy. There's Still Time to Stop It.We've seen plenty of bad tech bills in recent years, often cloaked in vague language about "online safety." But Florida’s SB 868 doesn’t even pretend to be subtle: the state wants a backdoor into encrypted platforms if minors use them, and for law enforcement to have easy access to your messages....

Europe may be taking a bold step towards digital sovereignty. Netcompany's call to 'bring our data home' isn't just about tech—it's about values, control, independence, and the future of our digital landscape. A new era of regional cloud infrastructure and innovation is on the horizon.

It probably has to be done, but I can't help but feel that it would be nice if humanity worked together rather than become more divided and duplicate efforts.
