Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dylan, Hey old pel Dylan is back. Dylan is the
producer of the six am news Dylan Fox two every morning, Killing,
Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Kill? And I, I, uh, When I get in, I
look at some of the stories that we're going to
be doing in each hour of the news, and I
saw the one about twenty three in me, and I said,
please come down and tell us about this because I
have the twenty three in me. I'm always being reconnected
with seventh and eighth cousins. I didn't know, Yeah, or
you have one percent DNA with like this person in Nebraska,
Like wow, I wonder why, like what happened?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But would dad do a lot of business in Nebraska? No?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
No, but it wouldn't be your dad and be like
your cousin's you know cousin. First of all, what is
the story on twenty three and me? Are they going under?
They done?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Are they going away?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
They declared chapter of a bankruptcy like six months ago, okay,
And they're looking for a buyer. They found one regender
on pharmaceuticals wants to buy them for a quarter billion dollars.
That purchase includes everything that's the website, that's the tech
that's the IP that's that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And also.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And you when you sign up for twenty three and
me at no points say yeah, and if you guys
go under.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Give my DNA to whoever.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So twenty seven State Attorney's General, including Data Essel, Yeah,
I fil a suit to stop the sale, saying that
DNA data isn't something you can buy and sell like
you know, like assets like a couch or or or.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Like digital data like you know, like okay, here's your
name address, and you know, because.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You voluntarily gave it to twenty three in me for
an express purpose, right, So what do they want to
be done with the DNA just destroyed?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
The Attorney General would like either the data to be
destroyed or people to be able to sign off individually. Yeah,
thirteen million people have used twenty three in me, right,
that's just not feasible. Now, twenty three meters is allowing
people to have asked to have their data delete and
they say two million people have done that.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But Congress three, are you're right?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Congress spent three hours yesterday growing them basically asking okay,
but are you actually deleting them? And answer was not, yes,
we are, which it should be a very simple yes
or no question.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Because they could take a profile down right, But that
doesn't mean that.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That doesn't mean someone is throwing is incinerating a vial
of saliva. So a lot of people are asking, hey,
I love twenty three meters. I want to you you've
used it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
People were asking, okay, so what which one should I use?
The short answer is you shouldn't. This has taught all
of us a very reminded of a very important lesson
that if it's on the Internet, it's forever.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
If it's in a company's database, it's forever, and it
is your DNA. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So people are like, oh, what about Ancestry. Well, Ancestry
was bought by black Rock for five billion dollars. Who says, oh, no,
we don't want to do anything with the data, and
you spent five billion. Investment firms spent five billion and
you don't see value in the data.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I call bs in blatant. I'm sorry black Stone black
I was going to.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Say, yeah, listen, I love the steak on that Rock
A cousin.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
And there was another one at was BioMed who was
like this up and comer.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
They disappeared last year.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They took the website down, ghosted everybody out of nowhere.
So this is a shady industry that no one really
realized was so shady.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
This is where I didn't do it. This is where
Dylan shines, right, I mean, who knew all this? This
is crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
The fact that you remember all of these companies' names.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I did have to remind myself about that was BioMed.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But well, either way, it's impressive.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's not that one that lady was trying to put
all the drug stores and then one to jail and
should talk. That's the.
