    I consider your personal genetic data to be a much more dangerous thing to sell, at least in the long term, compared to browser history.

      Even if the corporation that holds onto the genetic data isn’t selling it for profit (which I doubt), they still likely have terrible security on their servers. How many data breaches have there been over the years?

      I think it’s arguable. You can control thought with algorithms and feed addictions with browsing history. Both are still dangerous if abused.
