Most people here seem concerned about insurance companies misusing personal data or a full-on totalitarian government takeover. However, my concern is about becoming susceptible to manipulation and coercion. A significant aspect the last election was the use of "Super PACs" like Elon's which targeted individuals on social media to influence their decision.
I think this trend will continue, not just in politics but across all sectors. The internet you experience will be tailored to your personality completely, but it will also be shaped to steer you in directions decided by who pay the most. The more data they collect about you, the more effective this manipulation will be.
This doesn't even account for the risks posed by malicious actors who might target you using this information.
You don't need DNA for that though. Just hand out money and buy people.
Similar to November, a Musk funded group is currently offering $100 to registered voters in Wisconsin to sign a petition against “activist judges” with a not so subtle nudge to vote for the judge that will be favorable to the lawsuit he(musk) and Tesla are involved in within the state and who happens to be be part of the Trump gang having campaigned with junior.
Sure. I just think that we will be looking back at that as a horribly inefficient and expensive way to accomplish something that will be much more advanced soon.
yeah you're just projecting your personal concerns on to this thread. i have FAR more info about you from your social media activity than your DNA. learn to compartmentalize.
