Selling DNA data is actually something that can only be punished by death.

I disagree. I think if the company wants to sell its customers' data, they need to first submit to installation of cameras in every room of each member of the board of directors private domicles, live streamed ala Fishtank style on the internet. I think that's a fair trade.

No. Death is the only way for those who sell medical data while knowing the issues with it.

Thanks for the reminder. I fixed these all already apparently, but didn't remember setting PayPal shopping privacy.

I knew that 23andMe would eventually breaker to that. Told people not to do it. Oh, well.

I opted out of LinkedIn and PayPal, but I wish I didn't have to use them. Plus I do not fully trust them to respect the option, too.
