Cops are asking Ancestry.com and 23andMe for their customers’ DNA
"Both Ancestry.com and 23andMe stipulate in their privacy policies that they will turn information over to law enforcement if served with a court order. 23andMe
says it’s received a couple of requests from both state law enforcement and the FBI, but that it has ‘successfully resisted them.’"
—Kashmir Hill
