Remember to delete your data and destroy any held samples before it&#x27;s sold and too late.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oag.ca.gov&#x2F;news&#x2F;press-releases&#x2F;attorney-general-bonta-urgently-issues-consumer-alert-23andme-customers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oag.ca.gov&#x2F;news&#x2F;press-releases&#x2F;attorney-general-bont...</a><p>It took me a good 30 minutes to complete the process and a few refreshes later I got the deletion email. Make sure you revoke the consent for storing your samples if you haven&#x27;t already _before_ this process just in case.

Did you all seriously expect this company to be evergreen?<p>Your data is now the primary source of their valuation in a sale.

I remember when they just started. Junped on the bandwagon right away. I assumed that so much data would yield some practical results almost immediately. It’s been what, 10 plus years? I’m kinda sad about this.

23andMe stock was once worth $320 USD, now it sits at 73 cents. It&#x27;s like a reverse BTC.

How much would it cost for a large community of activists to buy this thing and burn it to the ground? I&#x27;d contribute.

I wonder if Wojcicki regrets not throwing in a few extra bucks on her offer for taking it private.

Reminder that you can download your raw DNA data before deleting it
