Blackstone to Acquire Ancestry.com for $4.7B
I changed my mind about DNA acquisition / privacy concerns after reading the backstory of the Golden State Killer: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_James_DeAngelo" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_James_DeAngelo</a><p>Officers uploaded DNA from a rape kit and got back a family tree, then investigated all 2,000 possibilities. Problem solved.<p>He’d eluded capture till the ripe old age of 77 or so, after having raped around 50 women and murdering several by beating them to death with logs.<p>Can someone help me understand some concrete scenarios where DNA testing is clearly a bad thing? Because it seems to be a net win for society. Leave your DNA at a crime scene -> you’ve left your ID.
