The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dear ancestry.com,

I don't really think you'll not broker my data to health care entities and/or nasty political fringe groups.

The former cohort will do anything they can to correlate people to cancer patients and such, and use this as a means to jack rates or drop people entirely. I'm not going to pave this road for them.

The latter will do anything they can to get rid of or marginalize anyone deemed related/associated to their particular target of bigotry.

And besides, you're really not that accurate - most don't realize you're only presenting 50% confidence by default, so this isn't the kind of arithmetic assurity we think of that is used in crime cases. Privacy and data is already way too loose and available, so I'll take this back now.

So, thanks for deleting my data and deleting my account.

Toodles - me
