My reading suggests that this is the correct interpretation. And I think it actually crystallizes in the question of whether such services should be allowed to exist. To me it’s hard to argue that we should prevent people from creating and consensually engaging in these large-scale social platforms from an individual liberty perspective. However in aggregate they have so much power to disrupt people’s lives. How do you balance these issues?

If 23andMe is in the wrong here it seems to be because this entire approach of large scale social networks is wrong, and we must solve it at a regulatory level.
