If 23andMe goes bankrupt or is bought out or spins off a subsidiary, do those legal obligations follow? I'm not a lawyer but lawyers write user agreements for the benefit of the companies who employ them; I wouldn't bet too much that they'll never be able to do what you hope they won't.
Here is Ancestry DNA's privacy statement AncestryDNA

The Privacy agreement for Harvard's Personal Genome Project was similar & stated that I agree to allow them to share my DNA SNP's with their researchers and other medical research organizations but that it will never be accompanied by any personally identifying information.

I'm not too worried, what are they going to do with it, tell the world I have a lower than average probability of getting cancer and a high probability of living past 100 lol?

Ah, no. A lot of these people do it for increased welfare check and most would find an abortion much worse than ending the life of their baby.

You might see this more around an area with military. And, despite color, those getting food stamps get more money per head in the household.

How do you know what non-black girls want? I think you are talking more about economic class than color. Illegitimate children come in all colors and mixes of colors. I don't care how they mix it up as long as everyone pays the bills to raise their children. It is possible to be a single mother and support your child/children without help from others and child support can be enforced if the father is working. Working fathers and non-working fathers come in all colors and mixes of colors.

Our last neighbors had two sons, they were black and both married and had children with non black females (white) and I can assure you that no one hated their families in that bunch. I have friend whose daughter who is black and married a white man. I just don't really understand this hostility toward blacks that I have been seeing in C-D lately. I have tried to explain that what one is seeing is socio-economic class rather than racial traits but that is obviously not sinking in.

That would be a great study.

A lot of really interesting stuff is going to come out of modern DNA testing. Those 23andMe people aren't in this business to provide people with a bit ancestry information...people are paying them to collect data that they'll use in other ways.
Yes, a hood rat could be any color or mix of colors and a decent Black person would be black. Despite some people want to believe, there are a lot of black people that are decent but they don't make the news because, they aren't news.

I have no idea what this means "most would find an abortion much worse than ending the life of their baby" Isn't ending the babies life what an abortion does? You claim people have babies for an increased welfare check? Did you know that in many States having an additional child does not give you a penny more in your cash grant and for those that do give you extra money it's usually around $80 a month[/b].

According to you, another reason the poor have more kids is to get more food stamps? The average size of a welfare family is 3.7 people, about the same as for a non-welfare family. Spending patterns of families receiving means-tested government assistance : Beyond the Numbers: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics[/b]

We have been sold on a whole lot of myths about the poor. It started with Reagan's "welfare queen" and it hasn't stopped since, what a shame.

Maybe it is more of a class and morals thing then a race thing. I a black Female have zeros kids and won't outside of marriage. (Religious convictions and being raised by married christian parents) Currently, I am working on my Masters so I don't see that happening soon. I have three brothers none of which have fallen into the traps that destroy the black community such as; drugs,violence, gangs, prison,and death. They are all professional men. One is married, one has a fiancé and the other is single. My point is they had a strong black father who worked hard to provide a good life for his family,valued education and instilled morals in them. If you value yourself and stand for something you will not attract trash or lay up with him black or white. I am going to be honest it is not just black men who have children outside of marriage but a high percentage do. I taught in a federal program in NY and most of the children lived in single parent homes and had black fathers.

My sister is a Black woman. She has no children, so it's safe to say she has none out of wedlock. My mother never had children out of wedlock. She was a virgin when she married my father, and they're still married today. I'm a Black man and I have no children out of wedlock. I've never had sex either. I can credit this to the same thing you credit your brothers doing well. My father.

I think that sentence says a whole lot.

The Myth Of The Absent Black Father | ThinkProgress

If the father is unemployed or underemployed and mom is living with her family they may not be willing or able to take him in..If you can't find a place to live then it's real hard to live together with your kid.
