If 23andMe is bounded by the legal system - why shouldn't we trust them the same way we trust Dropbox not to sell our personal files?

No one has been able to explain this to me.

Because on average your files on Dropbox are worth way less than your DNA.
Have you seen the legal system lately?
sure - so this isn't a unique complaint with 23andMe then? We should be deleting our data from Dropbox, Google, etc...?
Now you're getting it.
I never used gmail or Chrome because I didn't want to become dependent on tools controlled by a search and ad company.

I definitely feel now that was the correct instinct.
