23andMe was hacked, exposing 6.9 million users. The company then changed its terms of service to block class action lawsuits through binding arbitration, unless you opt out now.
After a massive data breach, 23andMe now is updating their terms of service to provide class action lawsuits. Watch to the end of this video and I'll teach you next steps and how to grow around this new terms of service issue. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cybersecurity and data protection expert. I want to help you protect your data online. Let's go. So a couple weeks ago, I recorded this video about 23andMe having a 6.9 million user breach. And if you didn't get a chance to watch this video, 23andMe had confirmed that hackers stole 6.9 million users DNA data. Yet now they're trying to prevent customers from joining a massive class action lawsuit by updating their terms of service. The new terms of service would force customers into binding arbitration. What does that mean? That means you can't go to court and third party arbitrators will decide each case unless you opt out. You have a certain window to opt out, otherwise you're automatically opted in. So if you're a 23andMe user or know someone who is, be sure to check those emails for the opt out option and make sure your voice is heard. Be sure to tag someone below who uses 23andMe and share this with a friend who needs to hear it. And if you want to see more content like this, be sure to like and follow.
