A coalition of attorneys general from numerous states has filed lawsuits against 23andMe to prevent the sale of personal genetic information without customer consent. The lawsuits highlight concerns over the privacy implications as the company faces bankruptcy and seeks to auction off data from over 15 million customers. Lawmakers have also scrutinized the situation, emphasizing the need for stringent data protection laws. The ongoing controversy includes a $305 million bid from the former 23andMe CEO, sparking further debates about data ownership and customer rights. Legal representatives from several states, including New York, Colorado, and Michigan, are pushing back against the auction, asserting that customers should have control over their genetic information.
