Sold to a pharmaceutical company…

23andMe and its customers’ genetic data bought by a pharmaceutical org​

Posted: May 20, 2025 by Pieter Arntz
The bankrupt genetic testing company 23andMe has been scooped up by drug producer Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for $256 million dollars.
But why would a pharmaceutical company like Regeneron buy a bankrupt genetics testing company like 23andMe for such a large amount of money?
Well, Regeneron is a leading biotechnology company that invents, develops, and monetizes life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases. So, it seems obvious that Regeneron’s primary interest lies in the genetic data collected by 23andMe, and the situation raises complex ethical, privacy, and security concerns that customers should understand and address.
Regeneron has pledged to uphold data privacy and security, working closely with a court-appointed Customer Privacy Ombudsman, acknowledging the importance of customer data protection and the ethical use of genetic information.
Dr. George Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s president, said in a statement:

“We believe we can help 23andMe deliver and build upon its mission to help people learn about their own DNA and how to improve their personal health, while furthering Regeneron’s efforts to improve the health and wellness of many.”

However, the scenario is less grim than the fears uttered by Senator Cassidy, chair of the US Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, who expressed concerns about foreign adversaries, including the Chinese Communist Party, acquiring the sensitive genetic data of millions of Americans through 23andMe.
Regeneron already manages genetic data from nearly three million people, so 23andMe’s 15 million customers significantly expand this resource. Besides the genetic data itself, Regeneron likely values the consumer genetics business infrastructure and research services that 23andMe built, which can complement Regeneron’s pharmaceutical pipeline and personalized medicine efforts.
Genetic data is uniquely sensitive because it contains deeply personal information about an individual’s health risks, ancestry, and even family relationships. Unlike traditional medical records protected under HIPAA, 23andMe’s genetic data is covered primarily by consumer privacy laws, which offer weaker protections.

What can consumers do to protect their data?​

Customers should actively manage their data on 23andMe by reviewing policies, deleting data if desired, and staying vigilant about how their sensitive genetic information is used.
People that have submitted samples to 23andMe have three different options, each providing a different level of privacy.

1. Delete your genetic data from 23andMe​

For 23andMe customers who want to delete their data from 23andMe:

• Log into your account and navigate to Settings.
• Under Settings, scroll to the section titled 23andMe data. Select View.
• You will be asked to enter your date of birth for extra security.
• In the next section, you’ll be asked which, if there is any, personal data you’d like to download from the company (make sure you’re using a personal, not public, computer). Once you’re finished, scroll to the bottom and select Permanently delete data.
• You should then receive an email from 23andMe detailing its account deletion policy and requesting that you confirm your request. Once you confirm you’d like your data to be deleted, the deletion will begin automatically, and you’ll immediately lose access to your account.

2. Destroy your 23andMe test sample​

If you previously opted to have your saliva sample and DNA stored by 23andMe, but want to change that preference, you can do so from your account settings page, under “Preferences.”

3. Revoke permission for your genetic data to be used for research​

If you previously consented to 23andMe and third-party researchers using your genetic data and sample for research, you may withdraw consent from the account settings page, under Research and Product Consents.

Check if you were caught up in the 23AndMe data breach​

Additionally, you may want to check if your data was exposed in the 2023 data breach. We recommend that you run a scan using our free Digital Footprint Portal to see if your data was exposed in the breach, and then to take additional steps to protect yourself (we’ll walk you through those).

TT 525 Gen 3XR with sunshade, TT throw lever, Multicam Black scope chaps, and a Charlie TARAC adapter. sold! Also up for grabs, I have a spare set of TT 525 flip caps (Sold!) and a spare Charlie TARAC adapter that I apparently ordered by accident. $35 for the Charlie T. adapter.

I've had this scope for four years, and it's treated me well. The scope is in good condition with very faint ring marks on the bottom side. It's been sent twice to ATI/TT for cleaning due to grease separation splattering the inside of the lens. I haven't mounted the scope since getting it back from it's last cleaning earlier this year. So I'm offering it up here instead of letting it sit on a shelf for the foreseeable future.

Money orders, checks (must clear before shipping), and paypal. I do not have venmo, zelle any of the other digital forms of payment.

If I ever get around his grave I'll be sure to piss on it.

Guess they all will appeal, the removal.

So i need help, I purchased 2 lpa actions. 1 long action ti and 1 steel medium both fuzion both full dlc. I had 2 carbon six barrels made and that's where I'm at 1 7prc amd 1 6.5 max. I inquired with a well know Smith to make me a 7 mega barrel for one of the lpa actions and he refused to make a barrel for lpa. He said they are junk. He said for 300 he could make them to their potential, here are the issue he state and I'm just wondering if it's worth him to fix or try to part of ignore what he said. Here you go. Copied and pasted his comments below

Their shit is generally junk if you want benchrest accuracy consistently
1)I don’t do barrels for lone peak arms Too many things need done for a rifle to shoot to its potential. Especially lone peak ignition systems. 80% need fixed
2) they use too weak of springs
3)Firing pins, cocking pieces binding, inadequate firing pin travel. Weak springs. And their actions are one of the most crooked actions on the custom market. I refuse to build on em anymore
4)Horrible cock on close generally also
5)Proper ignition is crucial for consistent benchrest accuracy. Without it the the gun wont shoot light: out. In big magnums I’ve seen hang fires in cold weather w their actions due to ignition. Fix the ignition and it’s cured.
Remachine certain parts $300 to fix em per action.
I don't want to throw him under the bus so I won't name him unless he says I can

Black Bike Week, officers respond to a kerfuffle at a boat. Ten people shot upon exiting party boat.

A North Myrtle Beach police officer was injured when his gun accidentally fired, Myrtle Beach police said in a separate statement.

The officer, who was wounded in a leg, was stabilized at a hospital, the police department said.

Do their officers carry P320's ??
