Do you want a law that says people can't publish their own DNA SNPs?

Sounds like a free speech issue.

Sounds like a good idea. Free speech isn’t the highest law.

(Putting aside my modest proposal, I still want to be able to research my family history.)

Already exists in some countries, like France. Non-court ordered DNA tests are illegal here, mostly for privacy reasons.
